PVL closure after TAVR: Yes, we can do it

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2017 Nov 1;90(5):878. doi: 10.1002/ccd.27365.

Abstract

Paravalvular leak (PVL) remains a significant problem after transcatheter aortic valve replacement. PVL is associated with long-term morbidity and mortality. Percutaneous management of post-TAVR PVL seems to be feasible and should be adopted by the structural heart interventionalist.
