Percutaneous Closure of Aortic and Mitral Paravalvular Leaks—Diagnostic and Therapeutic Considerations

Paravalvular leak (PVL) represents a suboptimal procedural outcome resulting in an eccentric regurgitant jet following surgical or transcatheter aortic or mitral valve replacements. In this review, the role of integrated imaging modalities, including transthoracic echocardiography, transesophageal echocardiography, cardiac computed tomography, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, for the diagnosis and evaluation of aortic and mitral PVL is...
