Özet
Paravalvular leak is a common postoperative complication of cardiac valve replacement, leading to a significant morbidity. Leak closure surgery is usually performed in symptomatic patients. Since most patients with paravalvular leak have a high risk profile for surgical closure, percutaneous closure is the preferred treatment modality. However, complex anatomy of the defects may complicate percutaneous closure procedures, requiring substantial surgical expertise. It is unlikely to close severe mitral paravalvular leaks in patients with dual mechanical prostheses percutaneously due to technical difficulties. In this article, we report a 49-year-old male case with mitral paravalvular leak closure via transapical approach using minimal invasive surgery.
