Percutaneous vascular surgery after aortic valvuloplasty: initial clinical experience

Percutaneous balloon aortic valvuloplasty can be associated with significant vascular morbidity. Often, managing the access site prolongs the length of hospitalization. Three patients were successfully treated with percutaneous femoral arterial vascular surgery immediately after aortic valvuloplasty...

Description
Summary:	Percutaneous balloon aortic valvuloplasty can be associated with significant vascular morbidity. Often, managing the access site prolongs the length of hospitalization. Three patients were successfully treated with percutaneous femoral arterial vascular surgery immediately after aortic valvuloplasty. These patients did not suffer early or late vascular complications. The access site care was dramatically improved when compared to our usual experience.
