Case Report: Moderate-to-severe paravalvular leak regurgitation after recurrent prosthetic valve endocarditis in a patient with a double-chambered right ventricle associated with a restricted membranous ventricular septal defect

This case highlights the feasibility of transcatheter PVL closure as a less invasive alternative for patients with multiple prior SAVRs and high surgical risk. Advanced imaging techniques were crucial in procedural success, ensuring precise device placement. A multidisciplinary heart team approach is essential for optimizing outcomes in complex valve pathology. Long-term follow-up is necessary to monitor the durability of the closure and potential complications.

Abstract

This case highlights the feasibility of transcatheter PVL closure as a less invasive alternative for patients with multiple prior SAVRs and high surgical risk. Advanced imaging techniques were crucial in procedural success, ensuring precise device placement. A multidisciplinary heart team approach is essential for optimizing outcomes in complex valve pathology. Long-term follow-up is necessary to monitor the durability of the closure and potential complications.
