Title: Real-time transesophageal echocardiography facilitates antegrade balloon aortic valvuloplasty. Cord-id: dzx6rnxg Document date: 2016_1_1
ID: dzx6rnxg
Snippet: We report two cases of severe aortic stenosis (AS) where antegrade balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) was performed under real-time transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) guidance. Real-time TEE can provide useful information for evaluating the aortic valve response to valvuloplasty during the procedure. It was led with the intentional wire-bias technique in order to compress the severely calcified leaflet, and consequently allowed the balloon to reach the largest possible size and achieve full

Real-time TEE can provide useful information for evaluating the aortic valve response to valvuloplasty during the procedure.
