Abstract

Since 2014, transcatheter paravalvular leak closure with the Occlutech Paravalvular Leak Device has been successfully accomplished in adults with high technical success. We describe the first successful use of the Occlutech Paravalvular Leak Device in the left atrio-ventricular valve in the United States in a 5-year-old child with a history of previously repaired atrio-ventricular septal defect.
