Key result
Re-do percutaneous paravalvular leak closure shows comparable procedural success and 30-day MACE to initial procedures.
Why the study?
The procedural characteristics and success rate of re-do percutaneous paravalvular leak closure have not been well studied.

Re-do PVL closure appears feasible with comparable success and MACE rates; leaves open questions on durability and optimal selection in larger prospective studies.
Al-Hijji et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Paravalvular leak (n=223). Re-do percutaneous paravalvular leak (PVL) closure vs. First percutaneous PVL closure was evaluated on Procedural success (p=0.45). Re-do percutaneous paravalvular leak closure demonstrated comparable procedural success (75% vs 85.4%; P=0.45) and 30-day MACE (12.5% vs 4.2%; P=0.35) to first-time closure procedures.
