Background: Recently, there has been renewed interest in balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV). Aim: To analyse the indications and short-term outcome of BAV since transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) was launched in our institution. Methods: Between September 2010 and September 2014, 25 consecutive patients (19 female, 6 male) underwent BAV. The mean age was 72 ± 11.4 years, mean EuroScore II was 10.4 ± 11.7%, mean logistic EuroScore 23.5 ± 23.6%, mean Society of Thoracic Surgeons mortality risk score was 21.8 ± 13.6%. The indications for BAV were: advanced haemodynamically unstable heart failure (HF) including cardiogenic shock or pulmonary oedema (n = 7), co-morbidities requiring urgent non-cardiac surgery (n = 8), palliative tre...
