Until the early 1980s surgery was the only possible treatment for severe valvar stenosis. Then a new alternative appeared鈥攑ercutaneous balloon valvuloplasty. I will deal here with percutaneous valvuloplasty for acquired valvar stenoses in the fields of mitral stenosis, aortic stenosis, and, ...

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is at present reserved for patients with severe aortic valve stenosis who are high risk for conventional surgery or surgical access is difficult due to heavily calcified aorta (porcelain aorta). However the calcium spikes at the root could pose a problem during...
We believe the use of cutting balloon could potentially address the basic problem of a valve that is resistant to balloon valvuloplasty and facilitates the opening of the dysplastic valves, with no need for surgery or the use of larger caliber balloons that might cause valvular insuffici...

A new hybrid catheter-tip tactile sensor with relative hardness measuring capability for use in catheter-based heart surgery Mitral valve regurgitation (MR) is one of the common heart valve diseases. It can be fixed by surgical mitral valve repair. Currently, this type of surgery... Ahmadi,Darg...
Background: We sought to identify predictive factors for aortic valve (AoV) surgery after neonatal balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) and characterize clinical outcomes of AoV surgery after neonatal BAV. Methods: Time-to-event analysis identified predictors for AoV surgery after neonatal BAV. Clinical...
