Percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy in juvenile mitral stenosis.
OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy and safety of percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy (PTMC), using multi-track double balloon technique in juvenile mitral stenosis. DESIGN Open non-randomised intervention. SETTING Cardiac catheterisation laboratories of The Mater Hospital, The Nairobi Hospital and Kenyatta National Hospital from 1996 to 2001. PATIENTS Forty five consecutive pa...
متن کاملEchocardiographic assessment of mitral valve morphology after Percutaneous Transvenous Mitral Commissurotomy (PTMC)
AIMS PTMC produces significant changes in mitral valve morphology as improvement in leaflets mobility. The determinants of such improvement have not been assessed before. METHODS AND RESULTS The study included 291 symptomatic patients with mitral stenosis undergoing PTMC. Post-PTMC subvalvular splitting area was a determinant of post-PTMC excursion in both the anterior (B 0.16, 95% CI 0.03 to...
متن کاملPercutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy in mitral restenosis with situs inversus.
A woman, aged 30 years with situs inversus, dextrocardia and severe rheumatic mitral restenosis was referred to AFIC/NIHD for commissurotomy. A Closed Mitral Valvotomy (CMV) for severe mitral stenosis had already been done 8 years earlier, and her symptoms had reappeared. She was evaluated with transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography and found to have a mitral valve area of 0.6 cm2, ...
متن کاملMitral Leaflet Separation Index in Assessing the Severity of Mitral Stenosis
Determining the severity of mitral stenosis (MS) is important for both prognostic and therapeutic reasons. The mitral valve area (MVA) can be measured by planimetry, pressure half-time, continuity equation, and proximal isovelocity surface area methods. In this study, we propose a novel yet simple, independent measure of MS severity-the mitral leaflet separation (MLS) index. This new index coul...
متن کاملPercutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy in patients with mitral stenosis and coexistent hyperthyroidism.
Percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy (PTMC) was performed successfully without complications in 3 patients with severe mitral stenosis and hyperthyroidism. All 3 patients had pliable, noncalcified mitral valves. One patient who had been treated with methimazole for 6 months was still in a hyperthyroid state when she presented with intractable congestive heart failure and was found to ...
