Summarized experience of balloon valvuloplasty in isolated stenosis of pulmonary artery valve is analyzed. This procedure was performed in Russian Research Center of Surgery in 53 patients from 1980 to 2006. The technique of balloon valvuloplasty is described; short- and long-term results are analyzed. Complications and unsatisfactory results of this surgery are outlined.

Radiation exposure during cardiac interventions in CHD: German Registry 2012-2020.

Pediatric Cardiology, University Hospital Tuebingen, Tubingen, Germany.
Background: Since patients with congenital heart defects (CHD) frequently require life-long medical care and repeat invasive treatment, radiation exposure during interventional procedures is a relevant issue concerning potential radiation related risks. Therefore, an analysis on radiation data from the German Registry for Cardiac Operations and Interventions in patients with CHD was performed.
Methods: From January 2012 until December 2020 a total of 28,374 cardiac catheter interventions were recorded.
Removal of a circumferentially torn stuck balloon from a calcified right ventricle to pulmonary artery conduit.

We report a case of right ventricle to pulmonary artery conduit angioplasty in which a valvuloplasty balloon ruptured circumferentially and was retained within the conduit. A high-pressure balloon was used to relieve the obstruction and free the ruptured balloon. The procedure was further complicated when the distal part of the balloon broke away from the proximal part during an attempt to retrieve it back into the femoral sheath.

Haemolysis after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has been reported in some studies, all of which were non-critical. Data related to haemolysis associated with new-generation balloon-expandable valve (BEV) are scarce.

Balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) is a therapeutic option as palliative or bridging therapy in severe aortic stenosis, even though it is a risky procedure, especially in patients with concomitant left ventricular dysfunction. The use of percutaneous ventricular assist devices, such as the Impella CP, in this scenario provides optimal circulatory support and considerably reduces the risk of the procedure. Two patients with severe aortic stenosis and left ventricular dysfunction underwent BAV with the support of the Impella-CP.
