Abstract
We document the first reported use of the Amplatzer Vascular Plug 4 for anterior mitral leaflet perforation repair in a 56-year-old male who had undergone valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement. Previously reported cases involving the use of other occluder devices for mitral leaflet perforation repair either required guide catheter or delivery sheath exchanges, arteriovenous wire loop for deployment, or use of mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair for leaflet stability. Our case highlights the efficacy of the bilobar-designed Amplatzer Vascular Plug 4 for precise occlusion in anterior mitral leaflet perforation through antegrade-only delivery and safety through the simplification of procedural steps.
