    Abstract:
    Periprosthetic valve leak can develop as a complication of valve replacement surgery and may manifest as symptomatic valvular regurgitation, heart failure, or haemolysis. We report a case of severe mitral periprosthetic valve leak requiring a two-stage percutaneous closure technique with multiple Amplatzer® III vascular plugs.
