Is anyone doing this for aortic stenosis ? Is this an option ? How effect is ballon valvuloplasty for adults say < 35 years old with no calcification. Does this buy time for surgery ?

Obviously you will want the opinions of surgeons and your cardiologist. My cardiologist and surgeon explained that in today's time this surgery is becoming easier and easier . I had mine 3 years ago (may 2013) and was 31. There's a lot of variants that can come into play here and most situations are unique. 3 years later I eat, drink and exercise just like I did before. Only negative for me is I'm now on a blood thinner the rest of my life but so far it hasn't been an issue for me.
