Balloon Valvotomy
Balloon Valvotomy is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat narrowed heart valves or valvular stenosis. It involves inserting a balloon-tipped catheter into the narrowed valve and inflating the balloon to widen the valve opening, improving blood flow.
Why is balloon valvotomy performed?
- It offers a less invasive alternative to open-heart valve surgery.
- It reduces pressure on the heart, helping it work more efficiently.
- It improves blood flow through the heart and to the rest of the body.
- It relieves symptoms, such as breathlessness, fatigue, and chest discomfort.
- It provides temporary relief in patients awaiting valve replacement or those not fit for surgery.
Types of balloon valvotomy:
- Balloon Aortic Valvotomy (BAV)
- Balloon Mitral Valvotomy (BMV)
- Balloon Tricuspid Valvotomy (BTV)
- Balloon Pulmonary Valvotomy (BPV)
