Antegrade transcatheter closure of a dehiscence of pulmonary bioprosthesis after pulmonary valve replacement with the Occlutech paravalvular leak device

Abstract

We report a case of antegrade transcatheter occlusion of a paravalvular leak (PVL) after bioprosthetic pulmonary valve replacement in a 31-year-old patient with tetralogy of Fallot. The leak resulted in severe pulmonary regurgitation with right ventricle volume overload. This case is the first-ever report of a successful percutaneous closure of PVL using the Occlutech paravalvular leak device.

Keywords: cardiac catheterization; congenital heart disease; paravalvular leak; pulmonary valve.
