Abstract

Background: We present a new one-wire technique for balloon aortic valvuloplasty and discuss possible advantages of this technique over other techniques., Methods: The records of 16 patients who underwent 18 procedures were reviewed., Technique: A floppy-tipped, nitinol wire (Ultra-Select, Microvena Corp., White Bear Lake, MN) is placed across the aortic valve through a guide/measurement catheter positioned in the aortic root. The guide catheter is then removed, and the balloon catheter is positioned. Balloon dilation is then performed., Results: Pre-dilation all patients had 0-1+ aortic insufficiency (AI). Four of 18 procedures resulted in an increase of >1 grade of AI, leaving 14 of 18 with < or =1 grade increase in AI. The mean gradient reduction achieved was 65%., Follow-Up: Eighty-seven percent of the procedures have required no further intervention., Conclusion: The ease and simplicity of the procedure may reduce the risk of increasing AI, decrease fluoroscopy time, and arterial access time.
