Balloon Valvuloplasty
Balloon Valvuloplasty
Another treatment option that is less invasive than valve repair/replacement surgery is balloon valvuloplasty or valvotomy.
Valvuloplasty is performed, in certain circumstances, to open a stenotic (stiff) heart valve. In valvuloplasty, a very small, narrow, hollow tube, or catheter, is advanced from a blood vessel in the groin through the aorta into the heart.
