Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty
Following the description by Lababidi in 1983 of balloon aortic valvuloplasty, it has been adopted by several groups of workers for relief of aortic valve stenosis. The indications for the procedure are peak-to-peak systolic pressure gradients in excess of 50 mmHg with symptoms or ECG changes or a gradient greater than 70 mmHg irrespective of the symptoms or ECG changes. One or more balloon dil...
متن کاملReal-Time Simulation of Transesophageal Echocardiography
In this paper we describe an approach to interactively render ultrasound images for a transesophageal echocardiogram procedure. Our prototype features an animated 3D model of a human heart that is used to synthesize virtual ultrasound images in real-time. The user can control the probe and interact with the simulator via a GUI or with a haptics device. The ultrasound plane is rendered in a clas...
متن کاملAntegrade balloon valvuloplasty for critical aortic stenosis in a premature neonate weighing 1100 g.
Experiences with invasive cardiac catheterization in low birth weight infants are few. In our clinic, we performed balloon aortic valvuloplasty by antegrade approach in a neonate weighing 1100 g with critical aortic stenosis, patent ductus arteriosus and atrial septal defect. The right femoral vein was accessed with a 4 Fr sheath, and a catheter was placed into the left ventricle from the atria...
متن کاملIntracardiac echocardiography--guided percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty.
Percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (PMBV) was initially described by Inoue in 1984 as a novel percutaneous technique for the management of mitral stenosis. Intracardiac echocardiography was initially used in the 1980s but was not universally accepted due to its high-frequency transducers and problems with steerability and manipulation. In the 1990s technical improvements led to more gene...
متن کاملPercutaneous balloon aortic valvuloplasty revisited: time for a renaissance?
Case Presentation: A 92-yearold woman presented with progressive heart failure in the setting of known aortic valve stenosis. Despite aggressive medical therapy, she remained in New York Heart Association functional class IV. She lived in an assisted-care facility and wanted to engage in more vigorous daily activities. She did not wish to undergo surgical aortic valve replacement. An echocardio...
