Abstract
Paravalvular leak (PVL) is a complication caused by development of gaps due to dehiscence between the annulus and implanted valve. Clinically significant PVL in bioprosthetic pulmonary valves are extremely rare. Currently, surgical intervention is the first line of treatment. However, surgery is associated with greater risk for morbidity and mortality when compared to primary repair or valve replacement. We present a 22-yearold male who underwent successful transcatheter intervention for pulmonary PVL with hemodynamic and symptomatic improvement.
