Balloon dilatation of valvular aortic stenosis is often associated with problems of balloon seating across the valve and slippage during performance of dilatation. We describe 2 patients with congenital aortic stenosis who underwent balloon dilatation using the Inoue balloon, which to the best of ou

We read with interest the case report by Goel et al. [1], wherein the Inoue balloon has been successfully used to accomplish retrograde (transarterial) balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV). We have also described this technique in our experience on versatile utility of Inoue balloon catheter for perfo
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
