Balloon Dilation

Subscribe to New Research on Balloon Dilation

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.

1.	Pathologic Constriction (Stenosis) 06/01/1986 - "Percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty is probably now the best treatment for pulmonary valvular stenosis. " 03/01/2012 - "In 1 patient, a clinically asymptomatic 75% in-stent stenosis was seen on the angiography at 6 months but was resolved completely by balloon dilation. " 08/01/2006 - "Balloon dilation is a safe and effective procedure with excellent long-term results for the treatment of anastomotic strictures secondary to surgical repair of EA in a pediatric population." 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. " 03/01/2012 - "Symptomatic short-segment stenoses after LSG may be treated successfully with endoscopic balloon dilation. "
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." 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. " 11/15/1988 - "Even with these limitations, however, balloon valvuloplasty seems to provide a significant improvement in actuarial survival compared with the natural history of elderly patients with severe aortic stenosis."
3.	Pulmonary Valve Stenosis (Pulmonary Stenosis) 03/01/2004 - "Percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty was effective and safe for the treatment of pulmonary valve stenosis with excellent short- and long-term results." 07/01/2000 - "In conclusion, right ventricular diastolic filling indices in patients with pulmonary stenosis did not improve after pulmonary balloon valvuloplasty in the first day but when re-examined by the sixth month there was a significant improvement. " 01/01/1991 - "Percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty gives good results in nearly all patients with pulmonary valve stenosis." 01/01/1988 - "In this report, rapid improvement in both right and left ventricular function following successful percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty is described in a patient with severe isolated valvular pulmonic stenosis and biventricular dysfunction. " 09/01/2013 - "Dogs with severe pulmonic stenosis undergoing pulmonary balloon valvuloplasty (HR 0 · 47, P = 0 · 047) and asymptomatic dogs with moderate pulmonic stenosis (HR 0 · 10, P = 0 · 042) had a better outcome.

" 01/01/1992 - "Double transseptal, double-balloon valvuloplasty is an effective treatment for many forms of congenital mitral stenosis. " 09/01/1998 - "On follow-up they were in NYHA functional class I. Percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy is a safe and effective procedure for selected pregnant patients with severe mitral stenosis. " 12/01/1992 - "Left atrial perforation occurred in one patient from group 1 and 2 patients from group II. In conclusion, mitral balloon valvuloplasty under transesophageal echocardiographic guidance alone is a safe and effective procedure in the treatment of mitral stenosis."

" 06/01/2008 - "Pneumatic balloon dilation therapy is as effective as esophagomyotomy for achalasia." 08/01/2004 - "Endoscopic balloon dilation is an effective treatment for achalasia, with minimal morbidity (60 % experience long-term benefit)."
