Key result
Percutaneous vascular plug via arterio-arterial loop successfully closes post-TAVR paravalvular leak.
Why the study?

Offers percutaneous option for post-TAVI paravalvular leak; leaves open safety, efficacy, and generalizability.
Significant periprosthetic aortic regurgitation after transcatheter aortic valve implantation has become a major concern of this technique given its association with impaired survival. We report the successful closure of such defect using a vascular occlusion device with the creation of an arterio-arterial loop to gain enough support to advance the delivery sheath into de the left ventricle.
