| Popis: | We report the transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) findings of percutaneous closure of an aortic paravalvular defect with two Amplatzer septal occluder devices (AGA Medical Corporation, Plymouth, MN). The patient was an 82-year-old male who underwent an aortic valve replacement with a Mosaic bioprosthetic valve 5 mo before admission. He presented with increasing shortness of breath, and transthoracic echocardiography revealed partial dehiscence of the aortic bioprosthetic valve with severe paravalvular regurgitation. Because the patient failed medical therapy and repeat aortic valve surgery, which is associated with significant morbidity, the patient opted for percutaneous closure of the paravalvular defect. |
