Percutaneous Balloon Valvuloplasty: A New Method for Treating Congenital Pulmonary-Valve Stenosis

Kan, Jean S., White, Robert I., Mitchell, Sally E., Gardner, Timothy J.·1982·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

TRANSLUMINAL balloon angioplasty has been increasingly accepted as a nonsurgical technique for dilatation of stenotic arteries in the peripheral, renal, and coronary circulations.1 2 3 4 5 6 The physical principles governing balloon angioplasty7 depend on transmission of a controlled radial force through a rigid balloon. The characteristics of the stenotic tissue determine the effectiveness of the dilatation process.Application of the balloon-dilatation principle to intracardiac valves has not been described. However, Semb et al. have relieved congenital pulmonary-valve stenosis by pulling a carbon dioxide-filled balloon from the pulmonary artery to the right ventricle.8 We thought that balloon valvuloplasty of the congenitally stenotic pulmonary valve . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
