ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the feasibility of treating patients with severe aortic valve stenosis by aortic valve replacement via transfemoral balloon dilation. Methods Three patients with severe aortic valve stenosis, who could not tolerate traditional open surgery, were chosen to receive aortic valve replacement via transfemoral balloon dilation. Results All the three operations were successfully done by transfemoral approach, including one assisted by transapical puncture. The aortic valve function of patients was improved, and there was no related complication or death. Conclusion Aortic valve replacement via transfemoral balloon dilation can be used for treatment of Chinese patients with severe aortic valve stenosis; but which demands more detailed preoperative preparation, evaluation, and surgical manipulation.
