Summary

This session addresses the complexities and risks associated with paravalvular leak (PVL) closure. It offers detailed analysis of principal complications, prevention techniques, and practical management strategies shared by experienced operators. Case studies illustrate complications such as device embolisation, prosthetic valve disc impingement, and delivery failures, along with their resolutions and clinical outcomes, providing valuable guidance for managing PVL closure safely and effectively.
