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 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...
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: review of the evidence and current indications
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 ha...
متن کاملPercutaneous balloon aortic valvuloplasty. Acute and 30-day follow-up results in 674 patients from the NHLBI Balloon Valvuloplasty Registry.
BACKGROUND Percutaneous balloon aortic valvuloplasty has been used as a therapeutic option for relief of valvular stenosis. This study describes patients undergoing initial percutaneous aortic balloon valvuloplasty enrolled in the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Balloon Valvuloplasty Registry. METHODS AND RESULTS Extensive baseline procedural and postprocedural data were tab...
