Learning Objectives:
  1. Review a case of paravalvular leak post-mitral intervention to highlight contributing factors like annular calcification and device mismatch, with emphasis on echocardiographic detection.
  2. Analyze management options in the case, such as percutaneous plug deployment or redo procedures, and evaluate hemodynamic consequences like heart failure exacerbation.
  3. Identify case-derived strategies for prevention, including optimal sizing techniques and post-dilation protocols to enhance seal integrity and procedural success.
