We report a rare case of progressive left ventricular outflow tract ( LVOT ) obstruction after percutaneous device closure of a mechanical prosthetic mitral valve ( MV ) paravalvular leak ( PVL ) in the region of aortomitral curtain in a patient who also had small mechanical aortic valve prosthesis with patient–prosthesis mismatch.
