Delivering one-class improvement in the NYHA classification in up to 90% of patients1,2,3,4 and an effective solution for a wide range of PVL morphologies1,5,6

Paravalvular leaks can be found in a variety of shapes and sizes. To tackle the leaks and fill the gaps of different morphologies, the Amplatzer Valvular Plug III is designed in a rectangular oval shape that fits a wide range of paravalvular leaks (PVL). As such, the Amplatzer Valvular Plug III can provide effective closure in over 90% of patients at 30 day follow up.6,7,8

A Solution To A Key Issue

Around the world, paravalvular leaks are a common and challenging problem: paravalvular leaks occur in 7% to 17% of mitral valve replacements (MVRs) and 5% to 10% of aortic valve replacements (AVRs).9 By providing an effective solution to this key issue, the Amplatzer Valvular Plug III is improving life quality and longevity to an increasing number of patients.1,2,3,4
