Successful percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty of the aortic valve in an infant. 1985

G R Sánchez, and A V Mehta, and L L Ewing, and S E Brickley, and T M Anderson, and I F Black

Percutaneous balloon aortic valvuloplasty was attempted in an eight-month-old infant with severe aortic valve stenosis. The procedure resulted in a fall in the resting transvalvular systolic pressure gradient from 106 mmHg to 40 mmHg and no aortic regurgitation. Clinical and Doppler echocardiography findings suggest persistent improved status 3 1/2 months after the procedure.
