Key result
Rapid ventricular pacing during balloon aortic valvuloplasty was associated with a smaller post-procedural aortic valve area compared to standard BAV (0.87 vs. 1.02 cm2, p=0.02).

RP BAV may aid positioning but was associated with smaller post-BAV AVA; leaves open optimal technique in contemporary practice.

p-value: p=0.02
Rapid ventricular pacing during balloon aortic valvuloplasty is safe in high-risk patients but is associated with a slightly smaller post-procedural aortic valve area compared to standard BAV.
Witzke et al. (2009) conducted a cohort in Severe aortic stenosis (n=111). Rapid ventricular pacing vs. Standard balloon aortic valvuloplasty without rapid pacing was evaluated on Post-BAV aortic valve area (AVA) (p=0.02). Rapid ventricular pacing during balloon aortic valvuloplasty was associated with a smaller post-procedural aortic valve area compared to standard BAV (0.87 vs. 1.02 cm2, p=0.02).
