Balloon aortic valvuloplasty: review of the evidence and current indications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Balloon aortic valvuloplasty was introduced over two decades ago as an alternative to aortic valve replacement in elderly patients deemed unsuitable for surgery. Due to high early restenosis rates and no effect on longterm mortality, the procedure’s development stalled. However, with recent technological advances, in particular the advent of the transcatheter aortic valve implantation, there has been a resurgence of this technique. The goal of this article is to review the literature and current issues of balloon aortic valvuloplasty.

متن کاملBalloon 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...
