Supports 3D TEE guidance for transcatheter mitral paraprosthetic leak closure; leaves open need for prospective validation.
The last two decades have witnessed vast advances in the field of cardiac intervention, particularly with regard to nonsurgical closure of structural heart diseases including para prosthetic valvular leaks. The use of imaging techniques to guide even well-established procedures enhances the efficiency and safety of these procedures. The present case report aims to highlight the role of three dimensional transesophageal echocardiography in pre, intra and post operative management of patients with mitral para prosthetic valvular regurgitation.

Sharma et al. (2013) conducted a case report in Mitral paraprosthetic valvular regurgitation (n=1). Three dimensional transesophageal echocardiography guided transcatheter closure was evaluated. Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography was highlighted as a valuable imaging technique to guide the pre-, intra-, and post-operative management of transcatheter closure for mitral paraprosthetic regurgitation.
