Abstract

Balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) effectively decreases peak pressure gradients through the aortic valve both at the time of the procedure and during follow-up. This paper presents the author’s observations on the utility of BAV in treating congenital aortic valve stenosis (AVS). Previous work by the author noted intermediate-term restenosis and late-onset aortic insufficiency (AI). Factors contributing to restenosis include age under 3 years and post-balloon residual aortic valve gradients exceeding 30 mmHg. Repeat balloon valvuloplasty has been found to address restenosis effectively. However, the onset of AI at late follow-up is a significant disadvantage of BAV. Despite this, BAV is currently considered a beneficial treatment option for managing AVS in children, adolescents, and young adults. In contrast, seniors with calcific AVS do not experience relief from obstruction with BAV and are candidates for aortic valve replacement through transcatheter methodology, a procedure not reviewed in this paper. BAV provides relief of obstruction across the aortic valve and functions as an alternative to surgical intervention. Consequently, BAV is considered a preferred choice in addressing aortic stenosis in the pediatric patient.
