Balloon valvuloplasty is a procedure done to repair the heart valve presenting with a narrowed opening. It is usually done in mitral valve stenosis, aortic valve stenosis, and narrowed tricuspid or pulmonary valve. During this procedure, the doctor inserts a catheter with a balloon into the blood vessel of the groin to reach the heart. X-rays are used to guide the catheter to reach the narrowed valve of the heart. After repairing, the balloon is deflated and removed with a catheter. It increases the valve function and improves blood flow by enlarging the valve opening.
