Paravalvular leak (PVL) on a surgically implanted mitral valve (mitral valve replacement, MVR) is a relatively common complication. Repeat surgery was the only possibility of its management in the past. Gradually, however, catheterisation procedures have been developed to allow closure without a conventional surgical approach. Catheter closure of PVL reduces the duration of procedure, the length of hospital stay, and the number of complications including death. We report the indications, diagnostic methods, catheterisation procedures, materials used, and clinical outcomes of PVL closure after MVR.

Keywords: mitral valve, paravalvular leak, catheter closure.
