Structured PICO

Population

12 patients (mean age 68.3 ± 9.2 years, 66% male) with clinically significant periprosthetic paravalvular leak (58.3% mitral, 41.7% aortic) who were poor operative candidates.

Intervention

Percutaneous closure of paravalvular leak using the Amplatzer Vascular Plug III device.

Outcome

Feasibility and efficacy (technical procedural success and clinical success).

Percutaneous closure of periprosthetic paravalvular leak using the Amplatzer Vascular Plug III device is feasible and safe in high-risk surgical patients.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Supports feasibility in high-risk cases; leaves open need for larger prospective studies before wider adoption.
