Popis: Percutaneous paravalvular leak closure seems a safe alternative to surgery in frail patients. However, it is a challenging procedure that should be tailored to each patient with optimal imaging guidance. Transesophageal echocardiography during the procedure and computed tomography scan/fluoroscopy fusion provide guidance for critical steps, such as PVL localization and crossing. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
