title: A new device for paravalvular leak closure.
abstract: Percutaneous closure of a prosthetic paravalvular leak (PVL) is a challenging procedure. Operators must use devices constructed for other applications. We present the use of a device which is specifically designed for PVL closure. To the best of our knowledge, there is no publication in MEDLINE reporting the use of the device.
