Pulmonary Artery Balloon Angioplasty (Pulmonary Valvuloplasty)

Modern Solution for Cardiovascular Treatments

About Pulmonary Artery Balloon Angioplasty

Pulmonary artery balloon angioplasty, also known as pulmonary valvuloplasty, is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat pulmonary artery stenoses. At the Topmed Medical Center in Târgu Mureș, this technique is performed by experienced specialists using modern equipment to ensure safe and effective results.

1. The procedure involves introducing a catheter into the blood vessels.

2. Using an angioplasty guidewire, the stenotic lesions are crossed step by step, with serial dilations performed in the affected segments from distal to proximal.

3. This improves blood flow in the pulmonary arteries, reducing symptoms and slowing disease progression.

When is Pulmonary Valvuloplasty Recommended?

Pulmonary artery stenosis

Pulmonary hypertension

Congenital malformations

Conditions involving obstructions in the pulmonary arteries.

Postoperative repair

For patients who have had previous surgery but present with residual stenosis.

Advantages of Pulmonary Artery Balloon Angioplasty

Minimally invasive

The procedure requires only a small incision, avoiding open surgery.

Rapid recovery

Patients can return to normal activities faster compared to surgical interventions.

Improved blood flow

Restores normal circulation between the heart and lungs, reducing pressure and symptoms.

High safety

The risks are low, and the procedure can be repeated long-term if needed.

Symptom relief

Patients experience significant improvement in exercise capacity.

How is the Procedure Performed?

1. Patient preparation

Local anesthesia is applied at the femoral venous access site.

2. Catheter insertion

A thin catheter is introduced through a peripheral vessel (usually in the groin area) and guided to the affected pulmonary artery.

3. Repeated balloon dilations

Help restore the vascular lumen by relieving the obstruction.

4. Evaluation of results

The interventional doctor monitors pulmonary arterial blood flow to ensure the success of the procedure.

5. Completion of the procedure

The catheter is removed, manual hemostasis is performed with a compression dressing at the puncture site, and the patient is monitored for recovery.

Recovery after Pulmonary Artery Balloon Angioplasty

1. Monitoring: The patient is monitored for 24–48 hours after the procedure to prevent complications.
2. Resuming activities: Light physical activities can be resumed after a few days.
3. Medical follow-up: Regular cardiology visits to monitor progress and heart function.
