Age is not a bar to PCI: Insights from the long-term outcomes from off-site PCI in a real-world setting.

Objectives: We sought to analyze the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) outcomes of very elderly patients (V. Eld. group, age >80 years) and compare their outcomes to a less elderly cohort (Eld.

Percutaneous paravalvular leak closure for symptomatic aortic regurgitation after CoreValve transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

Objectives: We present a case series of five patients in whom percutaneous paravalvular leak closure with the AVP4 device has been undertaken for symptomatic aortic regurgitation after CoreValve TAVI.

Background: Significant post-procedure aortic regurgitation (AR) is often difficult to assess, and is an important predictor of adverse outcome following TAVI. Paravalvular leak closure is an established procedure for surgical aortic prostheses, and has been undertaken for Edwards TAVIs, but has not been described for closure of CoreValve paravalvular leaks.
