Key result
Dual-balloon BAV via ipsilateral radial and brachial access enables treatment of severe calcified aortic stenosis.
Why the study?
Does balloon aortic valvuloplasty with two simultaneous balloons via ipsilateral transradial and transbrachial access improve invasive peak-to-peak gradient in patients with severely calcified aortic valve and complex vascular anatomy?

Does balloon aortic valvuloplasty with two simultaneous balloons via ipsilateral transradial and transbrachial access improve invasive peak-to-peak gradient in patients with severely calcified aortic valve and complex vascular anatomy?
Balloon aortic valvuloplasty using two simultaneous balloons via ipsilateral transradial and transbrachial access is a feasible technique for patients with severely calcified aortic valves and complex vascular anatomy.
Figure 1. BAV with two simultaneous balloons via ipsilateral transradial and transbrachial access. A) Chronic type B aortic dissection extending from the left subclavian artery to the right iliofemoral artery: (a) severely calcified aortic valve; (b) aortic arch; (c) descending thoracic aorta; (d) right iliofemoral artery. Asterisk (*) indicates the true lumen. B) Patent right radial artery and occluded right ulnar artery (white arrow). C) Right brachial artery access. D) BAV with two simultaneous balloons. E) & F) Pre- and post-BAV invasive peak-to-peak gradient. BAV: balloon aortic valvuloplasty Balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) continues to play a role in the management ...

Armario et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Severely calcified aortic valve and chronic type B aortic dissection. Balloon aortic valvuloplasty with two simultaneous balloons via ipsilateral transradial and transbrachial access was evaluated on Invasive peak-to-peak gradient. Balloon aortic valvuloplasty with two simultaneous balloons via ipsilateral transradial and transbrachial access was described in a patient with a severely calcified aortic valve.
