Amplatzer™ Valvular Plug IIIProduct Code (REF): 9-APVL3-042
Paravalvular leaks can be found in a variety of shapes and sizes. To tackle the leaks and fill the gaps of different morphologies, the Amplatzer Valvular Plug III is designed in a rectangular oval shape that fits a wide range of paravalvular leaks (PVL). As such, the Amplatzer Valvular Plug III can provide effective closure in over 90% of patients at 30-day follow-up. Around the world, paravalvular leaks are a common and challenging problem: paravalvular leaks occur in 7% to 17% of mitral valve replacements (MVRs) and 5% to 10% of aortic valve replacements (AVRs). By providing an effective solution to this key issue, the Amplatzer Valvular Plug III is designed for closure of paravalvular leaks adjacent to a surgically implanted heart valve. The device is offered in nine model configurations spanning waist long-axis dimensions from 4 mm to 14 mm and waist short-axis dimensions from 2 mm to 5 mm, each with a 2 mm overhang and a nominal 6.5 mm plug length (+1.0 mm / −0.5 mm).
Available under product codes 9-APVL3-042, 9-APVL3-063, 9-APVL3-084, 9-APVL3-103, 9-APVL3-105, 9-APVL3-123, 9-APVL3-125, 9-APVL3-143 and 1 more (see Ordering Information below).
