%X the development of mitral paravalvular leak (pvl) after mitral valve replacement is an uncommon complication with severe symptoms. the surgical repair of this condition has high morbidity and mortality; for this reason, several percutaneous techniques have been attempted with success rates between 60% and 90%. we describe the case of a young female patient with multiple mitral valve surgeries, who presented limiting dyspnea and hemolytic anemia. the pvl was closed using a specially designed amplatzer iii device under three-dimensional echocardiography. after 3 months of follow-up, the pvl remains completely excluded and the patient is asymptomatic.
