✦ Synopsis
The end diastolic left ventricular volume index was 98 ml/m2, with left ventricular ejection fraction at 30%. Valvular aortic regurgitation was 2 + and there was no mitral regurgitation. lnoue Balloon Usefulness in Case Of Failure to Catheter Balloons During Bifoil Bifoil balloons had been clearly unstable during the first 4 inflation attempts. The fifth inflation seemed to be successful: balloons slid back only at the very end of inflation. Hemodynamic measurements showed a mitral valve area increase from 0.5 to 1.4 cm2. but this increase
