Does emergency balloon aortic valvuloplasty improve hemodynamics and serve as a bridge to aortic valve replacement in a patient with critical aortic stenosis and shock?
Balloon aortic valvuloplasty may serve as an effective bridge to elective aortic valve replacement in patients presenting with critical aortic stenosis and cardiogenic shock.
Bhatia et al. (1993) studied this question. Emergency balloon aortic valvuloplasty successfully improved hemodynamics and served as a bridge to elective valve replacement in a patient with critical aortic stenosis and shock.
