Intractable Heart Failure From a Severe Mitral Paravalvular Leak in Surgically Created Bipartite Left Atrium.

ABSTRACT: We describe a 38-year-old Middle Eastern woman with a long history of multiple cardiac surgical procedures for mitral valve disease who presented with intractable heart failure from severe mitral paravalvular regurgitation requiring multiple medical admissions since 2019. She was deemed a very high surgical risk and was treated successfully with a percutaneous technique. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).
