This report describes a case of paravalvular leak (PVL) closure 20 days after surgery that was complicated by an embolized 10-mm device in a patient who underwent redo PVL closure after 6 months. Waiting for 3 months postoperatively to close a PVL is recommended. If earlier leak closure is mandatory, accepting a suboptimal result with a moderate residual leak is advised. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
