Dr. Pramod Joshi Balloon Valvotomy Procedures in Haldwani

What is Balloon Valvotomy?

Balloon Valvotomy is a minimally invasive cardiac procedure used to treat stenosis (narrowing) of heart valves, which restricts normal blood flow. In this procedure, a small balloon is inserted through a catheter and inflated at the affected valve to widen the opening and improve blood circulation.

This procedure is advised for patients with:

  • Narrowed or stiff heart valves (valve stenosis)
  • Shortness of breath
  • Chest discomfort
  • Fatigue or reduced physical capacity
