Device typeCardiac valvuloplasty catheter: A sterile flexible tube with an inflatable balloon designed to perform plastic or restorative surgery on a cardiac valve, i.e., for the dilatation of atrioventricular, aortic, and pulmonary trunk valves. It is typically used for the percutaneous dilatation of commissural fusion in stenotic mitral valves and for annular, cuspal, and calcific nodular fractures, to improve cuspal mobility in adult calcific aortic stenosis, and for leaflet tearing in pulmonic valve stenosis. It may also be used for percutaneous balloon pericardiotomy. This is a single-use device.
