Preparatory 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 کاملUse 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 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 کاملTransapical transcatheter aortic valve implantation without prior balloon aortic valvuloplasty: feasible and safe.
OBJECTIVES Currently, preimplant balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) is considered a prerequisite for successful subsequent transapical transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TA-TAVI) using balloon-expandable devices. However, cerebral embolization has been shown to originate at least in part from BAV procedures. Omitting BAV may therefore reduce neurological events after TAVI and facilitate t...
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 ...
