Balloon valvuloplasty has recently emerged as an option for elderly patients who are poor surgical candidates. With medical management the prognosis is dismal; definitive treatment is valve replacement. The new procedure provides hemodynamic and symptomatic relief, but there are major complications. Restenosis is common and mortality during follow-up remains high.
球囊瓣膜成形术最近已成为手术风险高的老年患者的一种选择。采用药物治疗，预后不佳；确定性治疗是瓣膜置换。这种新手术可缓解血流动力学问题和症状，但存在严重并发症。再狭窄很常见，随访期间死亡率仍然很高。
