Balloon Mitral & Pulmonary Valvotomy

23277-valvuloplasty

Balloon mitral and pulmonary valvotomy are sophisticated interventional procedures designed to treat specific heart valve conditions, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional surgical interventions. In balloon mitral valvotomy, a catheter-mounted balloon is carefully guided into the narrowed mitral valve, and once in position, the balloon is inflated to widen the valve opening. This helps improve blood flow and alleviate symptoms associated with mitral stenosis, such as fatigue and shortness of breath. Similarly, balloon pulmonary valvotomy involves the use of a balloon catheter to address stenosis or narrowing of the pulmonary valve, enhancing blood flow from the heart to the lungs. These procedures have proven effective in restoring proper valve function without the need for open-heart surgery, resulting in shorter recovery times and improved quality of life for individuals with these specific heart valve conditions. Balloon mitral and pulmonary valvotomy exemplify the advancements in cardiac care, emphasizing precision and minimally invasive approaches for optimal patient outcomes.
