Mitral paravalvular leak (PVL) remains a well‐known complication after mitral valve replacement. Since the first report over 25 years ago, several catheter‐based PVL closure techniques have been described. Most of these comprise of either an antegrade transseptal approach, or a retrograde transaortic or transapical approach. We herein report a novel percutaneous mitral PVL closure technique that was safely and successfully performed after failed attempt using a conventional antegrade approach.
