Catheter balloon valvuloplasty of stenotic aortic valves has met with generally poor short- and long-term clinical results. Part of this problem resides with the lack of recognition of various etiologies of aortic stenosis. Part I of this review discusses the various etiologies of aortic stenosis and provides an anatomic basis for successful valve dilation. Results of an in vitro study indicate stenotic aortic valves are dilated by various mechanisms (cracking, stretching) based in part upon the etiology of the aortic valve stenosis.
