Key result
Percutaneous retrieval of a displaced paravalvular leak closure device and subsequent closure using two Amplatzer Vascular Plug III devices was successfully performed in a patient with cardiogenic shock.
Why the study?
Generic vascular closure devices used off-label for paravalvular leak closure can suffer late displacement with prosthetic impingement, a rare and life-threatening complication.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Percutaneous management of life-threatening late paravalvular leak closure device displacement is feasible even in patients presenting in extremis with cardiogenic shock.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Offers percutaneous option for displaced PVL devices in shock; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Bottino et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Paravalvular leak (n=1). Percutaneous retrieval and closure using two Amplatzer Vascular Plug III devices was evaluated on Clinical success (survival and resolution of symptoms). Percutaneous retrieval of a displaced paravalvular leak closure device and subsequent closure using two Amplatzer Vascular Plug III devices was successfully performed in a patient with cardiogenic shock.
