Article Synopsis
- The use of temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS) in patients with cardiogenic shock has grown, primarily guided by observational studies and expert opinions.
- Imaging plays a crucial role in every stage of patient care, from diagnosis to monitoring and eventual weaning from support.
- This manuscript presents expert consensus and practical guidelines on the use of imaging in conjunction with tMCS, emphasizing evidence-based practices and current best standards.
Paravalvular leak closure of a native aortic valve for cardiogenic shock post valvular surgery.

October 2024
We describe the case of a 55-year-old patient with cardiogenic shock postsurgical mitral valve replacement, because of a native aortic valve paravalvular leak due to surgical trauma. The patient was successfully treated with a muscular ventricular septum defect device. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report describing percutaneous device treatment of a native aortic valve paravalvular leak.
