Description: Nonoperative repair of occluded vessels, ducts, or valves by insertion of a balloon catheter. It is used, among other things, to treat varices, torn retinas, renal and biliary calculi, gastric, bronchial and rectal stenoses, and heart valves, and includes catheterization with Fogarty and Foley catheters.

Pathologic Constriction (Stenosis) 06/01/1986 - "Percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty is probably now the best treatment for pulmonary valvular stenosis" 06/01/2001 - "In twenty-two patients stenosis or sharp angulation prevented adequate positioning of the scope which was only successful after balloon dilation or insertion of a stiff wire.RESULTS: Complete clearance of stones was achieved in 49 patients (92%)" 12/01/2000 - "Whereas simple balloon dilatation of recoarctation often brings good results, stents are often needed to obtain optimal results in pulmonary branch stenoses" 03/01/2000 - "Three patients had complete recovery of their CBD-stenosis after a third dilation, the remaining five patients were cured after two or three additional balloon dilations with intermittent stent exchange" 11/01/1992 - "However, in our experience, balloon dilatation of the stenotic segment has not significantly improved patients' clinical symptoms except in those with very short segmental stenosis" Order ALL the reference details at left...
2.	Aortic Valve Stenosis (Aortic Stenosis) 06/01/1998 - "Newer interventions, such as balloon valvuloplasty, should be carefully evaluated for long-term results and should be compared more appropriately to current surgical results to determine the best treatment modality for the neonate and infant with critical aortic stenosis." 08/01/1991 - "Percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty has proven to be acutely effective in the treatment of congenital valvar aortic stenosis; however, the intermediate- and long-term effectiveness of the procedure remain to be documented" 12/01/1989 - "The results indicate that balloon valvuloplasty can be offered to very elderly patients with severe aortic stenosis and can produce improvement in hemodynamic and clinical status." 07/01/1995 - "Hospital stay was significantly shorter in group 1. It is concluded that balloon dilatation for valvar aortic stenosis is effective and safe for the entire paediatric population" 04/01/1991 - "Since March 1989, when improved catheter technology became available, all five neonates presenting with critical aortic stenosis were treated successfully by balloon valvuloplasty" Order ALL the reference details at left...
