Key result
Balloon aortic valvuloplasty was performed rapidly and successfully in an 89-year-old woman using a single 8-French arterial sheath, a regular wire, and one peripheral balloon.
Why the study?
Does a modified balloon aortic valvuloplasty technique using an 8-French sheath and regular wire allow for safe and successful treatment in a patient with critical aortic stenosis?

Does a modified balloon aortic valvuloplasty technique using an 8-French sheath and regular wire allow for safe and successful treatment in a patient with critical aortic stenosis?
A modified balloon aortic valvuloplasty technique using smaller sheaths and regular wires can be performed safely and successfully in patients with critical aortic stenosis.
Sharifi et al. (2006) conducted a case report in critical aortic stenosis (n=1). Balloon aortic valvuloplasty using a single 8-French arterial sheath, a regular wire, and one peripheral balloon was evaluated on Procedural success. Balloon aortic valvuloplasty was performed rapidly and successfully in an 89-year-old woman using a single 8-French arterial sheath, a regular wire, and one peripheral balloon.
