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 کاملGradient reduction, aortic valve regurgitation and prolapse after balloon aortic valvuloplasty in 32 consecutive patients with congenital aortic stenosis.
From 1986 to 1988, balloon aortic valvuloplasty was performed in 32 patients with congenital valvular aortic stenosis. The patients ranged in age from 2 days to 28 years (mean +/- SD 8.3 +/- 5.9). One balloon was used in 17 patients and two balloons were used in 15 patients. Immediately after valvuloplasty, peak systolic pressure gradient across the aortic valve decreased significantly from 77 ...
متن کاملIn-Hospital Mortality after Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty
With increasing life expectancies, the burden of aortic valve disease continues to be a major contributor to morbidity and mortality, affecting millions of elderly people [1,2]. Aortic stenosis (AS) begins with a long asymptomatic period [3]. Once symptomatic, survival becomes poor unless the outflow obstruction is relieved [4-6]. Retrospective studies have shown that if the patient experiences...
متن کاملBalloon aortic valvuloplasty in elderly patients : a review & update review
Calcific aortic stenosis is the most common valvular disease in the western world, with the prevalence increasing with age. Medical management of critical aortic stenosis is associated with high mortality and cost. While surgical valve replacement is ideal, high early morbidity and mortality limit its usefulness among patients with comorbid illness or advanced age. Balloon aortic valvuloplasty ...
متن کاملExercise restrictions after balloon aortic valvuloplasty.
We read with interest the study of outcomes after balloon aortic valvuloplasty recently published by Brown et al. (1), and the accompanying editorial by Rome (2). The authors have valuably demonstrated the outcome of patients who have had balloon aortic valvuloplasty and shown that sudden death in this young patient population is rare. Their paper and Dr. Rome’s editorial also remind readers th...
