OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of the balloon valvuloplasty for for congenital valvular aortic stenosis (AS) in children. METHODS: A total of 27 (mean age 6.09 years) children with AS accepted the treatment of percutaneous balloon aortic valvuloplasty (PBAV). The ratios of balloon/valve were 0.95 +/- 0.08 for 19 cases of typical AS and 1.00 +/- 0.11 for 8 cases of hypoplastic AS. The patients were evaluated by the gradients across aortic valves in pre- and post-PBAV and by echocardiogram during the follow-up period. RESULTS: Fifteen of 19 (78.9%) cases of typical AS had a better outcome and the gradient of the remaining 4 cases (26.7%) had increased after follow-up (delta P > 50 mm Hg). Four of 8 (50.0%) cases of hypoplastic AS had satisfactory responses and the gradient of the remaining 3 cases (75.0%) rose. There was no moderate to severe aortic insufficiency (AI). CONCLUSION: The balloon aortic valvuloplasty provides safe and significant hemodynamic and clinical improvement in pediatric patients. The outcome of PBAV for typical AS is better than for hypoplastic AS. |
