| 1. | Other Percutaneous procedures beside balloon valvuloplasty for MS have been looked into.
|
| 2. | The traditional treatment of congenital aortic stenosis is balloon valvuloplasty or surgical commissurotomy.
|
| 3. | Valvuloplasty is an important part of the procedure to deploy a percutaneous aortic valve.
|
| 4. | The treatment is usually by surgery ( tricuspid valve replacement ) or percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty.
|
| 5. | The resultant tricuspid regurgitation from percutaneous treatment is better tolerated than insufficiency occurring during mitral valvuloplasty

| 7. | The first Mitral valvuloplasty was done here as well in 1988, three years after its introduction.

| 8. | To determine which patients would benefit from percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty, a scoring system has been developed.
|
| 9. | The indication for invasive treatment with either a mitral valve replacement or valvuloplasty is NYHA functional class III or IV symptoms.
|
| 10. | Recent improvements in both balloon technology and procedural technique may lead to a resurgence in the clinical application of balloon valvuloplasty.
