Early open mitral commissurotomy: Long-term results

Long-term Results After Open Mitral Commissurotomy for a One-Month-Old Infant With Mitral Stenosis.

The strategy for an infant with congenital mitral stenosis should be determined by three important factors: left ventricular volume, the degree of the systemic outflow tract obstruction, and the type of mitral valve dysfunction. A successful staged biventricular repair in early infancy for a patient who had congenital mitral stenosis with short chordae, hypoplastic left ventricle and coarctatio...

Late results of open mitral commissurotomy --factors influencing long-term functional rehabilitation.

Relationship between valve calcification and long-term results of percutaneous mitral commissurotomy for rheumatic mitral stenosis.

BACKGROUND Indications of percutaneous mitral commissurotomy (PMC) remain debated in calcific mitral stenosis. We analyzed long-term results of PMC for calcific mitral stenosis and the factors associated with late functional results. METHODS AND RESULTS We compared the characteristics and outcome of 314 patients undergoing PMC for calcific mitral stenosis with 710 patients with noncalcified v...

Long-term follow-up of patients with percutaneous mitral commissurotomy.

BACKGROUND Percutaneous mitral commissurotomy (PMC) has become the procedure of choice for patients with isolated mitral stenosis. AIM To assess immediate and long-term results of PMC and identify predictors of event-free survival. METHODS Percutaneous mitral commissurotomy was attempted in 1380 patients (mean age 49.36+/-10.0 years) with severe mitral stenosis. RESULTS Good immediate res...

SHORT TERM CLINICAL OUTCOME OF PERCUTANEOUS BALLOON MITRAL VALVULOPLASTY VERSUS SURGICAL CLOSED MITRAL COMMISSUROTOMY

BaIlon mitral valvuloplasty and closed mitral valve conunissurotomy were performed in 450 and 127 patients, respectively. Also, 254 patients with severe mitral stenosis were enrolled in a prospective randomized trial comparing the two procedures. Immediately after balloon mitral valvuloplasty, mean left atrial pressure was 11.38±3.54 mmHg, transmitral valve gradient was 1.8±2 mmHg, and mit...
