Abstract
Paravalvular leaks (PVL) that complicate prosthetic valve replacement may be observed in 2%-12% of the patients after mitral valve replacement and 1%-5% of the patients after aortic valve replacement. The percutaneous closure of PVL is considered as a less invasive alternative to a surgical closure for symptomatic relief in high-risk patients. The objective of this case report is to present a successful transapical closure of three separate mitral paravalvular defects with four devices in a patient with severe hemolysis.
