Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement for Sutureless Bioprosthetic Valve Tilting Resulting in Severe Paravalvular Leak
Abstract
Severe paravalvular leak (PVL) may be complicated by heart failure and haemolysis. PVL management is challenging, especially when the gap is large. We describe a case of PVL due to tilting of a sutureless biological prosthesis successfully treated by transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAV-in-SAV).
