Feasibility of transcatheter prosthetic paravalvular leakage closure: a single-center, exploratory safety evaluation study of transcatheter closure of prosthetic paravalvular regurgitation in Japan (STOP PARA study)

ConclusionsThe safety and acute technical success rates of transcatheter mitral PVL closure via a transapical approach were confirmed in Japanese patients. In Japan, transcatheter PVL closure may be an alternative option for patients with PVL who have a high surgical risk.
