Transcatheter closure of PVL has emerged as a new treatment strategy that can be offered to patients with isolated PVL or to those with a very high risk of repeat surgery. The transcatheter approach involves deployment of occlude devices or coils and adopting either a percutaneous or a transapical approach. Limitation of such approach is the fact that no PVL-dedicated device is available on the market, and either vascular-specific plugs or other types of occluders used commonly for closure of ventricular septal defects or patent ductus arteriosus can be used. Several technical issues can make the procedure challenging.
