ABSTRACT
Percutaneous ballon valvuloplasty is an interventional procedure designed to treat valve stenosis. The indications, techniques and results depend on the valve being opened. it is currently the treatment of choice for pulmonary valve stenosis. It is an excellent alternative to sugery for mitral stenosis in patients with mobile valves and little abnormality of the subvalvular apparatus. In aortic stenosis it constitutes a gratifying palliative procedure in older patients at high surgical risk. Longer observation is needed to better appreciate the results and indications of ballons valvuloplasty
