Paravalvular leak closure - Part 1

Facilitators: H. Weich, M. Casenghi

Summary

This session focuses on paravalvular leak closure challenges and solutions. It features complex cases such as extraction of plugs jailed between mechanical valves, managing leaks associated with severe annular calcification, aorto-mitral curtain leaks, device embolisation post-TMVR, and device-related haemolysis after closure procedures.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • Prison break: extraction of a plug jailed between two mechanical valves
  • TAVI in severe protuberant annular calcium – an unexpected outcome
  • The hidden torrent: aorto-mitral curtain paravalvular leak in a fragile setting
  • Atrial septal occluder embolisation during paravalvular leak repair after recent TMVR
  • Device-related haemolysis after paravalvular leak closure: a three-case series
