  • Title: Combined Retrograde/Antegrade Approach to Transcatheter Closure of an Aortic Paravalvular Leak.
    Author: Damluji AA, Kaynak HE, Heldman AW.
    Journal: Tex Heart Inst J; 2015 Oct; 42(5):443-7. PubMed ID: 26504437.
    Abstract:
    New interventional techniques have made transcatheter closure of aortic paravalvular leaks a viable therapeutic option to treat the sequelae of these defects, including congestive heart failure and hemolysis. We report the transcatheter closure of an aortic paravalvular leak via a combined retrograde/antegrade approach. This was necessary because of difficulty in crossing the defect with a sheath from the retrograde approach. This technique might be useful in application to other difficult structural heart interventions. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a treated paravalvular leak around a Mitroflow(®) Aortic Pericardial Heart Valve.
