Aortic valvuloplasty – is a revival merited?
Richard J Jabbour, Dion Stub, Antony S Walton
Introduction Balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) was first developed by Alain Cribier over 30 years ago for the management of aortic stenosis (AS).1 It was initially met with great enthusiasm due to its minimally invasive nature and possible alternative to surgery, but later fell from grace due mainly to high restenosis and complication rates. In addition, suboptimal results were obtained when compared with surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR).2 However, the evolution of techniques and devices culminating in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has drastically shifted the treatment options for high-risk patients with severe AS.

Criteria for an AS surveillance clinic were developed. Patients who were deemed suitable were identified from existing echocardiographic databases, discharge coding and review of the clinical notes. Patients with AS were identified (n=612). After a review of echocardiographic parameters, 117 patients were considered suitable for technician-led review. Of these, 47 patients (40%) were subsequently discharged from the cardiology clinic. A small proportion of patients are reviewed in the general cardiology clinic for no other reason than asymptomatic mild AS (5% of follow-up appointments). Establishment of a national AS surveillance programme c
