Key result
Antegrade percutaneous aortic balloon valvuloplasty was associated with significantly fewer vascular complications than the retrograde approach (2% vs. 19%; P=0.005) and similar 2-year mortality.
Why the study?
Does antegrade percutaneous aortic balloon valvuloplasty reduce vascular complications and improve survival compared to the retrograde approach in patients undergoing PAV?

Antegrade PAV appears feasible in PVD patients; leaves open whether it reduces vascular complications versus retrograde approach.

Absolute Event Rate: 2% vs 19%
p-value: p=0.005
Antegrade percutaneous aortic balloon valvuloplasty is associated with significantly fewer vascular complications compared to the retrograde approach, with similar long-term survival.
Cubeddu et al. (2009) conducted a cohort in Patients undergoing percutaneous aortic balloon valvuloplasty (n=157). Antegrade percutaneous aortic balloon valvuloplasty vs. Retrograde percutaneous aortic balloon valvuloplasty was evaluated on Vascular complications (p=0.005). Antegrade percutaneous aortic balloon valvuloplasty was associated with significantly fewer vascular complications than the retrograde approach (2% vs. 19%; P=0.005) and similar 2-year mortality.
