Role of Echocardiographic Imaging in Percutaneous Balloon Mitral Valvotomy
Mitral stenosis (MS) is a still frequently encountered in India and Bangladesh. Untreated MS contributes to the morbidity and mortality. Balloon mitral Valvotomy is effective and commonly used for relief of obstruction in symptomatic patients. The case selection is guided by clinical characteristics and imaging. Echocardiography is the most important imaging modality to assess severity of obstr...
متن کاملCardiac conduction abnormalities during percutaneous balloon mitral or aortic valvotomy.
To evaluate the electrophysiologic changes in the cardiac conduction system that occur during percutaneous mitral or aortic balloon valvotomy, we prospectively studied the conduction system in 19 patients (10 mitral, 8 aortic, and 1 both) undergoing this procedure. A His bundle electrogram was recorded in all patients, and when sinus rhythm was present, the atrioventricular (AV) node effective ...
متن کاملPostoperative Outcomes of Mitral Valve Repair for Mitral Restenosis after Percutaneous Balloon Mitral Valvotomy
BACKGROUND There have been a number of studies on mitral valve replacement and repeated percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy for mitral valve restenosis after percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy. However, studies on mitral valve repair for these patients are rare. In this study, we analyzed postoperative outcomes of mitral valve repair for mitral valve restenosis after percutaneous mitral ba...
متن کاملSystematic comparison of the effectiveness of percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy with surgical mitral commissurotomy.
PRINCIPLES Percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy is increasingly being carried out on patients with pure mitral stenosis, but discrepant results are still available at long-term follow-ups following percutaneous balloon and traditional surgical valvotomy. This research sought to systematically compare the efficacy and safety of mitral balloon and surgical valvotomy. METHODS A systematic liter...
متن کاملMitral valve apparatus: echocardiographic features predicting the outcome of percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the significance of involvement of subvalvular apparatus in the outcome of percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy (PMBV) in patients with mitral stenosis (MS) and to determine the predictive value of chordal length compared with current echocardiographic scores. METHODS Patients with significant MS were selected according to the Massachusetts General Hospital score (MGHS...
