Key result
Newer generation valves and improved techniques significantly reduce moderate-to-severe paravalvular leak after TAVR.
Why the study?
Paravalvular leaks have been a major critique against transcatheter aortic valve replacement since its inception, prompting substantial research to understand their causes, predictors, impact, and solutions.
This paper reviews the causes, predictors, impact, and potential solutions for paravalvular leaks following transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
Paravalvular leaks (PVLs) have been a major critique against transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) since its inception.Substantial research has been produced over the past decade, aiming to understand PVLs in terms of causes, predictors, impact on outcomes and potential solutions.
