What is Balloon Valvuloplasty?

Balloon valvuloplasty is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to treat stenotic (narrowed) heart valves. During this procedure, a catheter with a deflated balloon at its tip is guided to the affected valve. The balloon is then inflated to widen the narrowed valve, improving blood flow and reducing symptoms.

When is Balloon Valvuloplasty Recommended?

Balloon valvuloplasty may be recommended in the following situations:

• Treatment of valvular stenosis, such as aortic stenosis, mitral stenosis, or pulmonary stenosis
• Alleviating symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue
• Improving heart function and overall quality of life

The Balloon Valvuloplasty Procedure:

• Preparation: You will receive detailed instructions on pre-procedure preparations, including fasting and medication management.
• During the Procedure: Balloon valvuloplasty is typically performed in a specialized catheterization lab. The catheter is guided to the narrowed valve, and the balloon is inflated to widen the valve opening. This allows for improved blood flow and reduced valve-related symptoms.
• Recovery: After the procedure, you will be closely monitored in a recovery area. Most patients can return home the same day or the following day.

Benefits of Balloon Valvuloplasty:

• Rapid relief from chest pain and angina symptoms
• Improved blood flow through the affected valve
• Minimally invasive procedure with shorter recovery compared to surgical valve replacement
• Enhanced overall heart function
