Valvuloplasty, also recognized as valvuloplasty balloon or valvotomy balloon, is a process to rebuild a heart valve that has a constricted opening. In the narrowed heart valve, the valve flaps (leaflets) could become thick or stiff and fuse around each other. This lowers the flow of blood through the valve. Valvuloplasty can enhance the flow of blood through the heart valve and strengthen your symptoms. In a valvuloplasty, the professionals embed a long, thin tube (catheter) with a balloon on the tip into the artery in the arm or groyne. X-rays are being used to help direct the catheter to the reduced valve in the heart. The professionals then increase the balloon, which broadens the valve opening and differentiates the valve flaps. Then the balloon is shattered, and the catheter and the balloon are erased.
