Fetal Aortic & Pulmonic Balloon Valvuloplasty

A fetal aortic or pulmonary valve balloon procedure is a specialized treatment performed before a baby is born to open a heart valve that is too narrow. During the procedure, doctors use ultrasound to guide a very thin needle through the mother's abdomen and into the baby's heart. A tiny balloon attached to a catheter is then passed through the narrowed heart valve. The balloon is briefly inflated to stretch the valve open, improving blood flow through the baby's heart. After the balloon is deflated, it is removed.
