Significant prosthetic paravalvular leakage (PVL) could have serious clinical consequences and impairs survival. Reoperation is associated with a high mortality rate, and transcatheter closure is a new treatment modality for high-risk patients. The goal of this study was to determine safety and midterm clinical efficacy of transcatheter PVL closure using an open transapical approach.
