Abstract:

Despite the fact that so far in the literature, many cases of endovascular closure of paravalvular leak (PVL), this type of intervention is unusual and is associated with a complex technical issues. In addition, the majority of publications devoted to the correction of mitral and aortic PVL, while the description of the closing of the tricuspid valve (TV) PVL are rare.

Below is a description of our first experience of endovascular correction of TV PVL in 54 years ole patient, who underwent TV repair with «Neokor-32» - supporting ring as a correction of atrial septal defect, TV insufficiency One year after surgery the patient reported a decrease in physical activity tolerance. Echocardiography diagnosed hemodynamically significant PVL of TV, 6mm size with leakage between the left ventricle and the right atrium and formation of pulmonary hypertension. PVL was successfully treated by endovascular correction with using of device for closure of ventricular septal defect.
