Percutaneous closure of tricuspid paravalvular leak

While transcatheter closure of mitral and aortic paravalvular leaks has been well-described, there are no prior reports of such procedures for prosthetic tricuspid valves. We describe our experience with percutaneous closure of a tricuspid paravalvular leak in a 34-year-old patient with a history of tricuspid atresia. He had previously undergone repair with placement of a right atrium-to-right ventricle conduit and most recently, placement of a bio-prosthetic tricuspid valve. He subsequently developed significant tricuspid paravalvular leak with symptoms of severe right heart failure. His clinical status was improved following successful transcatheter closure of the defect.
