Klein et al. (2006) conducted a cohort in symptomatic calcific aortic stenosis (n=78). Percutaneous aortic balloon valvuloplasty (PABV) was evaluated on mortality. Percutaneous aortic balloon valvuloplasty for calcific aortic stenosis was associated with poor long-term survival, with 87% mortality and a median survival of 6.6 months.
