A new method for prograde balloon dilation of severe congenital aortic valve stenosis is described. Two TEGwirea balloons were used prograde through bilateral femoral venous sheaths. Excellent hemodynamic results were achieved, without the need for retrograde left heart catheterization and femoral a

## Abstract Objectives: This study focused on the anatomical features and outcomes of percutaneous pulmonary valve balloon dilation (PVD) in newborns โค3 kg in weight. Background: Although PVD is the treatment of choice for isolated pulmonary valve stenosis, there are no studies detailing technical,
We studied the first 202 patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) who underwent percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PBMV) with the Inoue balloon catheter for a follow-up (FU) period of 5-11 years. Pre-and post-PBMV and at FU, the mean left atrial pressure was 21.3 ุ 7.4, 10.2 ุ 5.6, and 1
