Outcome of Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation After Prior Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty.

CONCLUSION: BAV continues to offer a palliative solution to patients with unclear or poor prognosis and deemed at too high risk for emergent TAVI or surgery. Subjects undergoing BAV and surviving the post-BAV period can undergo TAVI without a significantly increased risk of in-hospital adverse events in comparison with non-BAV patients.
