Does staged balloon aortic valvuloplasty and aortic valve bypass provide a viable treatment strategy in an elderly patient with inoperable aortic stenosis and severe heart failure?
Staged balloon aortic valvuloplasty followed by aortic valve bypass surgery may be a feasible alternative for patients with severe aortic stenosis and advanced heart failure who are deemed inoperable for traditional surgical valve replacement.
Zimrin et al. (2008) studied this question.
