Percutaneous Focused Force Aortic Valvuloplasty Using the Buddy-Catheter Technique

05/29/2012

Abstract: Percutaneous transcatheter aortic valvuloplasty is seriously limited by high restenosis rates. We report a case where the use of a buddy-catheter technique during balloon inflation allowed increased focused force onto calcified...
