Balloon Valvotomy is a minimally invasive cardiac procedure used to treat narrowed heart valves, most commonly the mitral valve. In this procedure, a thin catheter with a small balloon at its tip is inserted through a blood vessel and guided to the affected heart valve. Once positioned correctly, the balloon is inflated to widen the narrowed valve opening and improve blood flow through the heart.
Balloon Valvotomy is an effective treatment for patients suffering from valve stenosis, where the heart valve becomes thickened or narrowed, restricting normal blood circulation. It helps relieve symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest discomfort, fatigue, dizziness, and palpitations.
This procedure is especially beneficial for patients with mitral stenosis caused by rheumatic heart disease. By improving valve function and blood flow, Balloon Valvotomy can reduce strain on the heart, improve quality of life, and delay or prevent the need for open-heart valve surgery.
It is often recommended for symptomatic patients with moderate to severe valve narrowing who are suitable candidates for catheter-based treatment.
