    Abstract:
    The introduction of transcatheter aortic valve implantation focuses attention on balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) once again. BAV is effective for several clinical conditions, but fatal complications including acute severe aortic insufficiency may occur, although rare. We report a case of acute aortic insufficiency occurring during BAV, which was bailed out remarkably by the catheter method. When acute aortic insufficiency occurs during BAV, this simple and effective procedure should be attempted before conversion to emergency surgery.
