Discover the innovative method for treating heart valve stenosis!

Your heart deserves the best care. Balloon valvuloplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat stenosis (narrowing) of heart valves. It is particularly effective for treating aortic, mitral, and pulmonary stenosis.

Balloon valvuloplasty is a procedure in which a catheter with a balloon at the tip is used to expand a narrowed heart valve. This improves blood flow through the valve and reduces the symptoms of stenosis.

Why choose balloon valvuloplasty?

• The procedure is performed through small incisions, reducing tissue trauma
• Patients usually return to normal life faster compared to open surgery
• Smaller incisions reduce the risk of postoperative infections
• Patients often spend less time in the hospital
• Smaller scars and fewer marks

Who is balloon valvuloplasty recommended for?

Balloon valvuloplasty may be recommended for patients with

• Aortic stenosis
• Mitral stenosis
• Pulmonary stenosis

Procedure and recovery

Before the procedure, patients undergo thorough examinations, including blood tests, ECG, echocardiography, and other diagnostic tests. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and sedation. A catheter with a balloon at the tip is inserted through the femoral vein or artery and advanced to the heart. The balloon is inflated in the area of the narrowed valve, expanding it and improving blood flow.

After the procedure, patients usually stay in the hospital under observation. It is recommended to avoid physical activity and heavy lifting for several weeks. Regular visits to the doctor for monitoring the heart condition are also important.

Types of balloon valvuloplasty

• Aortic balloon valvuloplasty: Used to treat aortic stenosis
• Mitral balloon valvuloplasty: Used to treat mitral stenosis
• Pulmonary balloon valvuloplasty: Used to treat pulmonary stenosis

Balloon valvuloplasty offers many advantages over traditional open surgery, including less pain, faster recovery, and improved cosmetic aesthetics. However, it is important to discuss all possible risks and benefits with your doctor before deciding to undergo such surgery.
