Impact of balloon aortic valvuloplasty on transcatheter aortic valve implantation with self-expandable valve

Abstract Background Balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) has been used prior to valve implantation of a self-expandable valve as part of the transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedure. We aimed to evaluate the impact of BAV prior to TAVI. Methods We retrospectively studied 203 consecutiv...
