Balloon Pulmonary Valvuloplasty — what to know
Balloon widening of a narrowed pulmonary valve via catheter. This is a catheter-based procedure performed in the cath lab, avoiding open-heart surgery wherever possible.
What to expect
The procedure is done in the cath lab through a tiny puncture in the leg, under sedation or light anaesthesia — no chest is opened. Most children are watched overnight and go home the next day, back to normal activity within days. Dr. Nandi explains the steps, benefits and risks beforehand.
