Supports staged AVP 2 closure for paravalvular leak in stentless bioprostheses; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Case Report (n=1)
A two-stage percutaneous closure using AVP 2 is a feasible and effective strategy for managing severe paravalvular leak in patients with stentless aortic bioprostheses without causing prosthesis compression.
Smołka et al. (2012) conducted a case report in severe paravalvular leak (PVL) (n=1). 2-stage percutaneous closure using Amplatzer vascular plug (AVP) 2 was evaluated on PVL closure. Two-stage percutaneous closure of severe paravalvular leak using Amplatzer vascular plug 2 was successful in a patient with a stentless aortic bioprosthesis, remaining stable at 12 months.
