Figure 2. Balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV), acute aortic regurgitation (AR), and the bailout procedure with pigtail rotation. Panel A. BAV with an 18-mm balloon (white triangle). The black triangle indicates intracardiac echocardiography (ICE). Panel B. Acute severe AR after BAV (black arrow). Panel C. Transthoracic echocardiogram image of acute AR from the non-coronary cusp. Panel D. ICE image of the entrapped non-coronary lea et (white arrow). Panel E. Rotating the pigtail catheter (white arrow) with a sti wire (black arrow). Panel F. ICE image con rming the pigtail positioning at the entrapped non-coronary lea et (white triangle). RCC = right coronary cusp; LCC = left coronary cusp; NCC = non-coronary cusp; Ao = aorta; LV = left ventricle.
