3 Further information

3.1 NICE has published interventional procedures guidance on:

  • balloon valvuloplasty for aortic valve stenosis in adults and children

  • balloon dilatation of pulmonary valve stenosis

  • balloon angioplasty of pulmonary vein stenosis in infants

  • balloon dilatation with or without stenting for pulmonary artery or non-valvar right ventricular outflow tract obstruction in children

  • balloon dilatation of systemic to pulmonary arterial shunts in children

  • radiofrequency valvotomy for pulmonary atresia and

  • percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty for fetal critical aortic stenosis.

Sources of evidence

The evidence considered by the Interventional Procedures Advisory Committee is described in the interventional procedure overview of percutaneous fetal pulmonary balloon valvuloplasty for pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PAIVS).

Information for patients

NICE has produced information on this procedure for patients and carers. It explains the nature of the procedure and the guidance issued by NICE, and has been written with patient consent in mind.
