Use of balloon aortic valvuloplasty to size the aortic annulus before implantation of a balloon-expandable transcatheter heart valve.
OBJECTIVES Our aim was to describe the use of balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) to select proper transcatheter heart valve (THV) size. BACKGROUND Transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) measurement alone of the aortic annulus may not be adequate to select a THV size. BAV can more accurately size the aortic annulus. We report our experience using this strategy in patients undergoing THV implanta...
متن کاملPercutaneous balloon aortic valvuloplasty in the era of transcatheter aortic valve implantation: a narrative review
The role of percutaneous balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) in the management of severe symptomatic aortic stenosis has come under the spotlight following the development of the transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) technique. Previous indications for BAV were limited to symptom palliation and as a bridge to definitive therapy for patients undergoing conventional surgical aortic valve ...
متن کاملThe role of balloon aortic valvuloplasty in the era of transcatheter aortic valve implantation
Balloon aortic valvuloplasty is recommended in patients not suitable for transcatheter aortic valve implantation/aortic valve replacement (TAVI/AVR) or when such interventions are temporarily contraindicated. The number of performed balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) procedures has been increasing in recent years. Valvuloplasty enables the selection of individuals with severe left ventricular d...
متن کاملPreparatory balloon aortic valvuloplasty during transcatheter aortic valve implantation for improved valve sizing.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to evaluate whether supra-aortic angiography during preparatory balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) improves valve sizing. BACKGROUND Current recommendations for valve size selection are based on annular measurements by transesophageal echocardiography and computed tomography, but paravalvular aortic regurgitation (PAR) is a frequent problem. METHODS Data of 270 ...
متن کاملTranscatheter aortic valve replacement with the SAPIEN 3: a new balloon-expandable transcatheter heart valve.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to demonstrate the first-in-human feasibility and short-term clinical outcomes with a new balloon-expandable transcatheter heart valve (THV). BACKGROUND The SAPIEN 3 (S3) THV incorporates a paravalvular sealing system, an active 3-dimensional coaxial positioning catheter, and is compatible with a 14-F expandable sheath. METHODS The S3 THV was implanted i...
