Abstract

Severe paravalvular leak (PVL) may be complicated by heart failure and haemolysis. PVL management is challenging, especially when the gap is large. We describe a case of PVL due to tilting of a sutureless biological prosthesis successfully treated by transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAV-in-SAV).

Keywords: cardiac CT-scan; paravalvular leak; sutureless; transcatheter aortic replacement valve.
