How to achieve balloon stability in aortic valvuloplasty using rapid ventricular pacing [PDF]

, 2004
Balloon aortic valvuloplasty is now the treatment of choice for congenital aortic stenosis. Balloon stability may be difficult to achieve and this may result in a suboptimal result or even valve damage.

Acute type B aortic dissection in the absence of aortic dilatation [PDF]

, 2012
BackgroundIncreasing aortic diameter is thought to be an important risk factor for acute type B aortic dissection (ABAD). However, some patients develop ABAD in the absence of aortic dilatation. In this report, we sought to characterize ABAD patients who
