title: Percutaneous closure of paravalvular leak and ventricular septum defect.
abstract: We report a case of a patient with history of complicated infective endocarditis. Following aortic valve replacement, he developed heart failure symptoms related to paravalvular leak and ventricular septum defect. Comprehensive multimodality imaging allowed planning a simultaneous closure of both with a single device. Successfully accomplished procedure resulted in significant abatement of symptoms and reduction of ventricles dilatation.
