Among patients undergoing surgical valve replacement, 1–5 % of patients with an aortic valve replacement (AVR) and 2–12 % with a mitral valve replacement (MVR) may develop paravalvular regurgitation or ‘leak’ (PVL).1–3 In the era of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with first-generation balloon expandable valves, up to 17 % of patients may be left with moderate or severe PVL, also…

Paravalvular leak (PVL) occurs when there is backflow around a prosthetic valve. This can occur through a variety of causes. Paravalvular Leak is accompanied by regurgitation and is often a significant problem for patients with bioprosthetic or mechanical heart valves.1 Often manifesting as heart failure (85% of all presenting symptoms) and hemolysis (13–47% of all presenting symptoms and signs)…

Over the past 30 years, several percutaneous transcatheter technologies and devices for interventions in structural heart diseases (SHDs) have been introduced (see Table 1). There are numerous technologies that are in development or are currently being used to treat patients with SHD that use transcatheter techniques. The variety of percutaneous treatment approaches has led to a revolution and…

Imaging guidance is of major importance for successful outcomes in the interventional treatment of structural, congenital and valvular heart disease. Cardiac transcatheter treatment of these diseases is a rapidly growing field and, as a result, there has been substantial progress in image-guidance technology.
During interventions, the major imaging focus is currently on echocardiography, which…

Percutaneous catheter-based structural heart disease procedures are a rapidly growing area of interventional cardiology, and represent a valuable option for cardiac patients with comorbidities who are ineligible for conventional surgery as well as demonstrating excellent outcomes.1,2 Catheter-based interventions include transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI),3 percutaneous mitral valve …
