  Abstract
We describe a case of a 46-year-old woman with dehiscence and paravalvular leak of a second-time replaced mitral mechanical prosthesis, successfully treated with Amplatzer occlusion of the paravalvular leak, thus avoiding a second reoperation and improving the patient's symptoms. Keywords: Thrombosed mitral prosthetic valve; Prosthetic valve endocarditis; Reoperation; Paravalvular leak; Amplatzer occlusion
