Emergency balloon aortic valvuloplasty in patients with critical aortic stenosis presenting with cardiogenic shock.

This report describes 2 cases of aortic valvuloplasty performed as emergency treatment in patients with critical aortic stenosis presenting with cardiogenic shock. This procedure can be life-saving, and allows the patients to undergo further evaluation for aortic valve replacement, or other definitive treatments such as the recently developed percutaneous heart valve implantation for patients with unacceptably high surgical risk.
