Paravalvular Leak Closure (PVLO)

Paravalvular Leak Closure (PVLO)

Paravalvular leak (PVL) is a serious complication after surgical valve replacement or after transcatheter aortic valve replacement. Approximately 1–5% of PVLs can lead to serious clinical consequences, including congestive heart failure and/or haemolytic anaemia.
