Özet

Background and aim of the study: Prostheses used to treat heart valve disease improve patient survival, but have certain disadvantages. Paravalvular leakage (PVL) is a rare complication after mitral valve replacement (MVR), and can impair cardiac function and reduce the patient's functional capacity, depending on the degree of periprosthetic regurgitation.
