OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of two different treatments of paravalvular leak (PVL).

BACKGROUND: PVL is a common complication after surgical valve replacement. Re-operation is associated with high mortality, morbidity, and risk of re-leak. Catheter-based repair has emerged as a promising new therapy.

METHODS AND RESULTS: Eighty-seven consecutive patients with symptomatic PVL received either transcatheter (n = 46) or surgical (n = 41) treatment at Shanghai Chest Hospital between January 2009 and December 2015.The procedural and clinical success rates were similar between the transcatheter group and the surgical group (82.6 vs. 90.2%; P = 0.30; and 69.5 vs. 73.0%; P = 0.71, respectively). There were fewer in-hospital total major adverse events in the transcatheter group (56.09 vs. 17.39%; P < 0.001), and transcatheter repair was more cost-effective, with fewer blood transfusions, shorter procedure durations, shorter hospital stays, and less expenditure. However, there were six cases of hemolysis aggravation in the transcatheter group (13.04%). The 5-year overall survival rates after transcatheter and surgical repair were 74.39 and 71.95% (P = 0.45), respectively, and the cardiac-related survival rates were 84.08 and 74.72% (P = 0.19), respectively.

CONCLUSION: Transcatheter and surgical repairs are both effective treatments for selected patients with PVL. And, transcatheter closure seems to be safer and more cost-effective. Nonetheless, this new treatment may be risky for post-procedure hemolysis when unsuitable devices are used.
