Key result
Percutaneous aortic balloon valvuloplasty using the Inoue balloon yielded a significantly greater increase in aortic valve area compared to Mansfield balloons (P=0.039).

Supports Inoue balloon preference in antegrade PABV; leaves open impact on outcomes, warranting randomized trials.
Observational (n=13)
Does antegrade transseptal PABV with the Inoue balloon improve aortic valve area compared to Mansfield balloons in high-risk patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis?
p-value: p=0.039
Eisenhauer et al. (2000) conducted an observational in Severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (n=13). Inoue balloon via antegrade transseptal approach vs. Mansfield balloons via antegrade transseptal approach was evaluated on Increase in aortic valve area (p=0.039). Percutaneous aortic balloon valvuloplasty using the Inoue balloon yielded a significantly greater increase in aortic valve area compared to Mansfield balloons (P=0.039).
