Popis: Mitral paravalvular leak (PVL) remains a well-known complication after mitral valve replacement. Since the first report over 25 years ago, several catheter-based PVL closure techniques have been described. Most of these comprise of either an antegrade transseptal approach, or a retrograde transaortic or transapical approach. We herein report a novel percutaneous mitral PVL closure technique that was safely and successfully performed after failed attempt using a conventional antegrade approach.
