Summary
This study looked at 250 people with severe aortic stenosis who needed a new heart valve placed through a tube in an artery (TAVI). The researchers compared doing the procedure with or without first stretching the old valve with a balloon. They wanted to see if skipping the balloon step led to better results and fewer complications.
