Key result
Balloon aortic valvuloplasty significantly reduced left ventricle systolic pressure (187.85 to 133.85 mmHg) and transaortic gradient (90.67 to 28.11 mmHg; P=0.0001) in pediatric patients with AS.
Why the study?
The optimal treatment for congenital aortic stenosis remains debated between balloon aortic valvuloplasty and surgical aortic valvotomy, prompting evaluation of the role and short-term outcomes of balloon aortic valvuloplasty.
Does balloon aortic valvuloplasty improve hemodynamic parameters in pediatric patients with significant aortic stenosis?

p-value: p=0.0001
Balloon aortic valvuloplasty provides effective short-term palliation for pediatric patients with significant aortic stenosis, significantly reducing transaortic gradients.
Prajapati et al. (2021) conducted an observational in Significant aortic stenosis (n=58). Balloon aortic valvuloplasty was evaluated on Change in left ventricle systolic pressure (LVSP) and transaortic gradient (TAG) (p=0.0001). Balloon aortic valvuloplasty significantly reduced left ventricle systolic pressure (187.85 to 133.85 mmHg) and transaortic gradient (90.67 to 28.11 mmHg; P=0.0001) in pediatric patients with AS.
