I read an article on MSNBC (http://msnbc.msn.com/id/12068470/) about aortic valve trials inserting the valve via an artery into the aortic position and then inflating the collapsed valve with a balloon. Apparently they've done this to about 20 people who had no other hope for surgery. My question is: Does anyone know how these valves stay in place? I can't imagine they could also suture the valves through a catheter. Couldn't a valve that has been "wedged" in place come loose easily?
