Key result
In a cohort of 68 high-risk elderly patients with severe aortic stenosis, balloon aortic valvuloplasty was associated with a 15% in-hospital mortality rate, which was significantly higher in patients with pre-procedural acute kidney injury and elevated pulmonary pressures.

What are the clinical and hemodynamic predictors of in-hospital mortality in high-risk patients undergoing balloon aortic valvuloplasty for severe aortic stenosis?
In high-risk patients undergoing balloon aortic valvuloplasty, in-hospital mortality was 15% and was significantly driven by pre-procedural renal dysfunction and elevated pulmonary artery pressures.
Shiv Raj (2017) conducted a cohort in Severe, symptomatic calcific aortic stenosis (n=68). Balloon aortic valvuloplasty was evaluated on In-hospital mortality. In a cohort of 68 high-risk elderly patients with severe aortic stenosis, balloon aortic valvuloplasty was associated with a 15% in-hospital mortality rate, which was significantly higher in patients with pre-procedural acute kidney injury and elevated pulmonary pressures.
