• An invasive, nonsurgical procedure
• The passage of a balloon catheter from the femoral vein through the atrial septum
to the mitral valve, or through the femoral artery to the aortic valve
• The balloon is inflated to enlarge the orifice
• Institute precautions for arterial puncture if appropriate
- mark the site
- check for bleeding at catheter site insertion
- monitor for emboli
- monitor for arrhythmias during the procedure
, - Wear elastic or compression stockings during the day and evening as
prescribed
- It will probably be necessary to wear the stockings for the remainder of life
- Avoid prolonged sitting or standing, constrictive clothing, or crossing legs
when seated
- Elevate the legs for 10 to 20 minutes every few hours each day
- Elevate legs above the level of the heart when in bed
- The use of an intermittent sequential pneumatic compression system, if
prescribed; instruct the client to apply the compression system twice daily for
1 hour in the morning and evening
- Advise the client with an open ulcer that the compression system is applied
over a dressing
• Fever
• Anorexia, weight loss
• Fatigue
• Cardiac murmurs
• Heart failure
• Embolic complications from vegetation fragments traveling through the arterial
circulation
• Petechiae
• Splinter hemorrhages in the nail beds
• Osler's nodes (reddish, tender lesions) on the pads of the fingers, hands, and toes
- OHHH, it hurts!!! (osiers are tender and hurt, Janeway does not hurt)
• Janeway lesions (nontender hemorrhagic lesions) on the fingers, toes, nose, *
