Paravalvular leak closure with real time transesophageal echocardiography and fluoroscopy fusion

Transcatheter technology has been increasingly used for paravalvular leak closure. We report the use of “ Fusion Technology ” (EchoNaviagator, Phillips, Tustin, CA) that combines real-time 2 and 3 dimensional trans-esophageal echocardiography with fluoroscopy imaging to facilitate paravalvular leak...
