Abstract:
Aortic paravalvular leak (PVL) is a known complication of TAVR. PVL closure using vascular occluder devices can be used, particularly in cases with annular calcification preventing adequate seal; however, delivery of equipment can be challenging in TAVR patients due to interaction with the valve stent. We describe a novel antegrade closure approach to treat transcatheter aortic PVL.
