A less invasive procedure called balloon valvuloplasty may be done in children instead.

Balloon valvuloplasty is a procedure that makes the valve opening bigger.

Sometimes balloon valvuloplasty can be done to relieve symptoms.

It can also be treated with balloon valvuloplasty, a nonsurgical technique.

Balloon valvuloplasty is often used in teens and young adults who have aortic valve stenosis.

Balloon valvuloplasty may be used for pregnant women who get aortic valve stenosis symptoms during their pregnancy.

Thus, the balloon valvuloplasty fell from favour, and surgeons went back to the replacement operation involving open-heart surgery.

The treatment is usually by surgery (tricuspid valve replacement) or percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty.

When treatment for heart valve disease includes surgery, it's performed by traditional surgery and minimally invasive balloon valvuloplasty.

If the valve stenosis is of congenital origin, balloon valvuloplasty is another option, depending on the case.

During balloon valvuloplasty, a thin flexible tube called a catheter is inserted through an artery in the groin or arm and threaded into the heart.

His other procedural specialties include the catheter-based treatment of mitral and aortic stenosis (balloon valvuloplasty).

One alternative procedure involved enlarging the aortic valve opening by stretching it with a balloon (balloon valvuloplasty).

Young people or people who cannot have open-heart surgery may have another procedure called balloon valvuloplasty to enlarge the valve opening.

For infants and children, balloon valvuloplasty, where a balloon is inflated to stretch the valve and allow greater flow, may also be effective.

Recent improvements in both balloon technology and procedural technique may lead to a resurgence in the clinical application of balloon valvuloplasty.

Balloon valvuloplasty is generally an effective treatment for aortic valve stenosis in teens and young adults but has very limited effectiveness in older adults.

Treatment of this cardiac abnormality can require surgery, or non-surgical procedures like balloon valvuloplasty (widening the valve with a balloon catheter).

Balloon valvuloplasty is more effective in younger people because of the difference in the causes of aortic valve stenosis in younger and older people.

Balloon valvuloplasty (or valvulotomy) is a procedure in which a tiny balloon is inserted into the aortic valve and inflated to widen a narrowed valve (aortic valve stenosis).
