Paravalvular leak closure of acute mitral valve ring dehiscence during mitral valve-in-ring procedure

Abstract

The replacement of surgically corrected mitral valves, also known as percutaneous transcatheter repair, is a relatively young field. Even though these procedures are usually successful, they can present significant intraoperative or postoperative challenges. To our knowledge, we present the first case of acute focal dehiscence of mitral ring repair during the mitral valve-in-ring procedure.
