A new catheter that facilitates catheterization in patients with severe aortic stenosis is described. The catheter design is capable of high-pressure injections for left ventriculography, but it maintains maneuverability and has an end hole for use with a guide wire in traversing tightly stenotic va
Balloon aortic valvuloplasty is an acceptable alternative to surgery in the treatment of critical aortic stenosis in the neonate. In this report, we describe a 1-day-old infant with critical aortic stenosis who was successfully treated with an anterograde, transumbilical venous, snare-assisted ballo
Balloon valvuloplasty (BV) in neonates with critical pulmonary valve stenosis (CPVS) is limited by technical considerations, mainly the difficulty of traversing the stenotic valve. To simplify the procedure we used a 4F Cobra Type I catheter to cross the pulmonary valve (PV) without the aid of a gui
