Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty: The Texas Heart Institute Experience
AUTOR(ES)
Ferguson, James J.
RESUMO
Between October 1986 and January 1989, 73 percutaneous catheter balloon aortic valvuloplasty procedures were performed in 68 adult patients (32 men and 36 women; mean age, 77 ± 9 years) with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis. Following the procedures, significant improvements were documented in aortic valve area, mean transvalvular pressure gradient, peak-to-peak pressure gradient, left ventricular systolic pressure, radionuclide ejection fraction, and left ventricular end-systolic volume index.
