Why the study?
While investigating balloon dilatation outcomes in congenital obstructive cardiac lesions, several parallel observations were made, prompting a review to present these observations, phenomena, and innovations.
This review summarizes clinical observations and technical innovations related to balloon dilatation for congenital obstructive heart lesions.
Should not yet change practice; extends descriptive literature on balloon dilatation for congenital lesions.
While investigating the outcomes of balloon dilatation procedures in patients with congenital obstructive lesions of the heart, several parallel observations have been made. The purpose of this review is to present these observations/phenomena/innovations related to balloon dilatation of pulmonary stenosis (PS), aortic stenosis (AS), and aortic coarctation (AC). In subjects who had balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty (BPV), development of infundibular obstruction, electrocardiographic (ECG) changes, changes in right ventricular filling, role of balloon/annulus ratios on the results of BPV, and double balloon vs. single balloon BPV will be reviewed. In patients who had balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV), causes of aortic insufficiency and trans-umbilical venous approach for BAV will be tackled. In children who had balloon angioplasty (BA) of AC, aortic remodeling and biophysical response after BA of AC will be discussed.
