Early valvuloplasty insights inform context; leaves open need for updated prospective data in current practice.
What are the mechanisms of effect, risks, and clinical utility of balloon valvuloplasty in stenotic lesions of the pulmonic, mitral, and aortic valves?
This 1988 review summarizes the mechanism, risks, and clinical utility of catheter balloon valvuloplasty for stenotic lesions of the pulmonic, mitral, and aortic valves.
Hill et al. (1989) studied this question.
