Abstract
In an era where transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) indications and utilization are expanding beyond high-risk patients,
paravalvular leak remains the intervention’s Achilles heel. Effective reduction of paravalvular leak is important in order to ensure an
optimal clinical outcome. We present here the first case report in which percutaneous valvular closure using Amplatzer plugs
followed by a TAV-in-TAV intervention during the same procedure managed to resolve a severe paravalvular leak with
haemodynamic instability, after TAVI for a bicuspid aortic stenosis.
