Abstract:
A 76-year-old man who underwent aortic valve replacement for severe calcific aortic stenosis developed a significant paravalvular leak. Because the risk of re-operation was felt too great, a percutaneous transcatheter obliteration of the defect using an Amplatzer vascular plug was undertaken, with an excellent clinical outcome.
