The nurse should inspect the surgical insertion site closely for bleeding and infection.

<h3>What is aortic balloon valvuloplasty?</h3>
  • Aortic valvuloplasty, also known as balloon aortic valvotomy, is the widening of a stenotic aortic valve using a balloon catheter inside the valve.
  • It is a nonsurgical procedure that relies on a catheter (thin, flexible tube) inserted into a vein or artery in your groin to repair your heart valve.
  • Cardiologists use balloon valvuloplasty as a palliative treatment to improve aortic stenosis; related symptoms in patients who are not candidates for aortic valve surgery and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).
  • A valvuloplasty may improve blood flow through the heart valve. It may also improve symptoms of heart valve disease, such as shortness of breath or chest pain.
  • Balloon mitral valvuloplasty usually lasts for five to seven years and, as with BAV, it is safe to repeat the procedure.
