Does real-time 3D TEE guidance facilitate successful percutaneous transcatheter occlusion of mitral periprosthetic paravalvular leak?

Population

86-year-old female with a history of mitral valve replacement and periprosthetic valvular leak (PVL) causing regurgitation and haemolysis (n=1).

Intervention

Percutaneous transcatheter occlusion of the leakage with a 12 × 5 mm Amplatzer Vascular Plug III device guided by real-time three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography (3D TEE).

Outcome

Procedural success (occlusion of leakage, reduction in regurgitation, improvement in haemolytic parameters, decrease in V-wave).surrogate

Real-time 3D TEE is highly useful for guiding percutaneous transcatheter occlusion of mitral periprosthetic paravalvular leaks, facilitating correct device placement.
