Does transcatheter closure using the Occlutech PLD occluder via a transapical approach safely reduce regurgitation in patients with mitral valve paravalvular leaks?
Transapical closure of mitral paravalvular leaks using the Occlutech PLD occluder appears safe and effective in reducing regurgitation in this case report.
This clinical case presents the results of using the Occlutech PLD occluder for transcatheter closure of a paravalvular leak (PVL) via a transapical approach in the remote period after mitral valve prosthetics. According to our results and to the literature, the procedure for closing the PVL of the mitral valve from a transapi¬cal approach using a special Occlutech PLD occluder is characterized by relative safety for patients, clinical effectiveness in terms of eliminating or reducing the degree of regurgitation and related symptoms.
