In the era of transcatheter aortic valve therapies, the presence of residual paravalvular regurgitation (PVR) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) may become a clinical challenge. Management of late symptomatic PVR is still unknown. We describe a challenging case of percutaneous closure attempt of a clinically significant PVR in a patient after Edwards SAPIEN (Edwards Lifesciences, CA) TAVR. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
