## Abstract Background: Rapid ventricular pacing (RP) during percutaneous balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) facilitates balloon positioning by preventing the βwatermelon seedingβ effect during balloon inflation. The clinical consequences of RP BAV have never been compared with standard BAV in whic
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 Ψ 7.4, 10.2 Ψ 5.6, and 1
