Proud to share a successful intervention for a 4-year-old patient with severe bicuspid aortic stenosis.
Managing severe stenosis in pediatric patients requires extreme precision. We achieved an excellent hemodynamic result in this case, successfully reducing the mean gradient from 74 mmHg to 26 mmHg.
Key Technical Steps:
✅ 6F femoral access.
✅ Secure LV apex positioning via IMA catheter assistance.
✅ SAFARI XS wire for optimal stability.
✅ 14 mm Z-MED II balloon valvuloplasty (1:1 ratio).
✅ Rapid pacing performed via the LV wire.
Post-procedure, the patient showed no residual AR and excellent clinical improvement. Proud of the team for the seamless ex*****on of this case.
