To understand the condition, we must first look at how the heart functions. The heart has four valves: the tricuspid, pulmonary, mitral, and aortic valves. These valves act like one-way doors, keeping blood flowing in the correct direction.
Balloon valvuloplasty is a minimally invasive procedure using a catheter with a balloon to widen narrowed heart valves (stenosis), improving blood flow and relieving symptoms like shortness of breath and chest pain
