Supports feasibility of novel BAV in high-risk severe AS; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective trials before practice change.
Does balloon aortic valvuloplasty using a novel percutaneous dilation catheter and power injector improve symptoms and hemodynamics in high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis?
BAV using a novel smaller profile balloon and power injector is safe and effectively improves hemodynamics and symptoms in high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis.
