Balloon Dilation
Balloon Dilation
A balloon dilation is a cardiac catheterization procedure, a small, flexible tube (catheter) is inserted into a blood vessel in the groin, and guided to the inside of the heart. The tube has a deflated balloon in the tip. When the tube is placed in the narrowed valve, the balloon is inflated to stretch the area open. Patients who have undergone balloon dilation will need to follow antibiotic prophylaxis for a specific period of time after discharge from the hospital.
