Balloon Valvuloplasty
UI Heart and Vascular Center physicians began using percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty to open heart valves with a catheter before any other hospital in Iowa. This innovative technique is less invasive and has important advantages over conventional approaches, reduces procedure time, provides great control of valve dilation, and shows marked improvement in patient comfort during the procedure.
