Aortic paravalvular leak unmasked: different faces, different strategies

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2026 clinical cases submissions

Summary

Examine diverse clinical scenarios and management strategies for aortic paravalvular leaks (PVL), including complex percutaneous closures post-TAVI and surgical interventions. This session presents challenging cases demonstrating varied presentations and approaches such as mechanical valve loop utilization, highlighting the complexities and tailored solutions required for successful PVL treatment.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • Complex percutaneous closure of a severe paravalvular leak after TAVI
  • Third time is the charm: a paravalvular leak after two surgeries
  • Aortic paravalvular leak: not always a straightforward course
  • Attempted closure of mechanical aortic valve replacement paravalvular leak with the use of aortic valve loop
