Pulmonary Balloon Valvuloplasty Treatment
This is a catheter-based, minimally invasive cardiac procedure. It is specifically indicated for pulmonary valve stenosis. The technique involves guiding a balloon to the narrowed valve and inflating it. This opens the valve to improve blood flow from the heart to the lungs. Patients typically experience significant symptom improvement after the procedure.
The treatment is offered as a complete program lasting 3-4 days. It is well-tolerated by most patients. The all-inclusive package covers hospitalization, necessary diagnostics, and hotel accommodation. Airport transfers and transport between the hotel and clinic are also provided.
