Valvuloplasty is a medical procedure designed to treat valvular heart disease, a condition characterized by dysfunction or narrowing of the heart valves. During valvuloplasty, a catheter equipped with a deflated balloon is threaded through blood vessels to the heart valve that requires intervention. Once in position, the balloon is inflated to widen the narrowed valve, improving blood flow and alleviating symptoms associated with valvular disorders. This minimally invasive procedure is often considered as an alternative to traditional open-heart surgery, offering reduced recovery times and less postoperative discomfort. Valvuloplasty has proven to be an effective intervention for select cases of valvular heart disease, providing patients with a viable option to restore cardiac function and enhance their overall quality of life.
