<p><b>Background:</b> Severe congenital aortic stenosis in infants is a life-threatening congenital heart anomaly that is typically treated using percutaneous balloon aortic valvuloplasty.</p><p><b>Methods:</b> The usual route is the femoral artery under radiographic guidance. However, this procedure may be limited by the small size of the femoral artery in low-weight infants. An infant weighing only 7 kg with severe aortic stenosis (peak gradient was 103 mmHg) was successfully treated with a novel approach, that is trans-ascending aorta balloon aortic valvuloplasty guided by transesophageal echocardiography.</p><p><b>Results:</b> The patient tolerated the procedure well, and no major complications developed. After the intervention, transesophageal echocardiography indicated a significant reduction of the aortic valvular peak gradient from 103 mmHg to 22 mmHg, no aortic regurgitation was found. Eighteen months after the intervention, echocardiography revealed that the aortic valvular peak gradient had increased to 38 mmHg and that still no aortic regurgitation had occurred.</p><p><b>Conclusions:</b> In our limited experience, trans-ascending aorta balloon aortic valvuloplasty for severe aortic stenosis under transesophageal echocardiography guidance effectively reduces the aortic peak gradient. As this is a new procedure, long-term follow up and management will need to be established. It may be an alternative technique to treat congenital aortic stenosis in low-weight patients.</p>

Abstract Background Although rapid ventricular pacing (RVP) is commonly performed for preparation of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). It has been reported that multiple and / or prolonged RVP is associated with adverse clinical outcomes of TAVI. Retrograde Inoue-Balloon was designed for balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) without RVP to prevent slip of balloon by way of central waist during biphasic inflation. Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate safety and feasibility of Retrograde Inoue-Balloon for TAVI preparation. Methods From December 2013 to December 2019, 427 consecutive patients who performed TAVI for severe aortic valve stenosis, were retrospectively enrolled in Iwate Medical University. Of them, 227 (53%) patients (mean age 83±5 years, male 41%), underwent retrograde BAV before prosthetic valve implantation, comprised this study population. Retrograde BAV procedures were divided into two groups; patients used Inoue-Balloon without RVP and those did conventional balloon with RVP. The primary endpoint was defined as combined adverse events of 30-day mortality, cerebral infarction, and critical complications after BAV (aortic dissection, aortic rupture and cardiopulmonary arrest). The secondary endpoint was set as prolonged hypotension after BAV. Result Inoue-Balloon (IB) and conventional balloon (CB) were used for 73 patients (32%) and 154 (68%) patients, respectively. Both balloons were succeeded to through and expand of aortic valve in all cases. In the CB group, cardiopulmonary arrest occurred in 2.0% after BAV, cerebral infarction was observed in 3.9%, and 30-day death in 3.3%. On the other hand, no major complications were observed except one aortic dissection in the IB group. In logistic regression analysis adjusted by sex and age, the incidence of combined adverse events was significantly lower in the IB group (OR 0.17, 95% CI 0.009–0.917, P=0.037). Furthermore, the IB group had significantly a lower incidence of prolonged hypotension following BAV compared with CB group (4.1% vs 19.5%, p=0.002). Conclusion Balloon aortic valvuloplasty using retrograde Inoue-balloon without rapid ventricular pacing is safe and feasible, and may improve clinical outcomes of TAVI.
