Inclusion Criteria:

- Subject is implanted with a mechanical or biological surgical valve in the aortic or
mitral position

- Note: Subjects in European countries can only be implanted with a mechanical valve in
the aortic or mitral position

- Subject has a clinically significant paravalvular leak with a severity grade of
moderate or higher, associated with signs of heart failure and/or hemolysis
necessitating recurring blood transfusions.

- Subject has one clinically significant PVL defect that can be closed with a single AVP
III as assessed pre-procedurally

- Subject has provided written informed consent

- Subject is ≥18 years old

Exclusion Criteria:

- Subject has a rocking valve or extreme dehiscence of the prosthetic valve involving
more than 40% of the sewing ring

- Subject's PVL(s) originates from a transcatheter aortic or mitral valve replacement,
or from rapid deployment or sutureless surgical replacement valves

- Subject has a prosthetic aortic valve and prosthetic mitral valve which both have a
clinically significant paravalvular leak.

- Subject who is hemodynamically unstable or who cannot undergo an elective procedure

- Subject with active endocarditis or other active infection

- Subject has within the last 6 months a previously documented intracardiac mass,
vegetation, tumor, or thrombus which would interfere with placement of the AVP III

- Subject has inadequate vasculature for delivery of the AVP III

- Subject has unsuitable anatomy for PVL closure using the AVP III (such as a PVL
associated with an abscess cavity or a pseudoaneurysmal sac) or anatomy where the AVP
III would interfere with other intracardiac or intravascular structures (such coronary
ostia)

- Subjects who are unable to receive intraprocedural anticoagulant therapy

- Pregnant or nursing subjects or subjects who plan pregnancy during the clinical
investigation follow-up period.

- Presence of other anatomic or comorbid conditions, or other medical, social, or

investigation results.

- Life expectancy is less than 1 year in the opinion of the Investigator

- Incapacitated individuals, defined as persons with mental illnesses or handicaps that
