Echocardiographic 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 کاملEffect of Percutaneous Transvenous Mitral Commissurotomy on Plasma Apelin Level in Mitral Stenosis Patients
Background: Apelin is an endogenous peptide with positive inotropic property secreted by the heart besides other tissues. Plasma apelin levels are altered in chronic heart failure with left ventricular dysfunction. However, the effect of left atrial hemodynamic overload on plasma apelin levels in mitral stenosis (MS) is unknown. In this observational study, we estimated plasma apelin level in M...
متن کاملRupture of Accura balloon during percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy
Percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy (PTMC) is one of the treatment modality in the management of rheumatic mitral stenosis. Reuse of sterilized PTMC balloon catheters has been widely practiced in developing countries to bring down procedural cost. PTMC by reused balloons are prone to deform and rupture during procedure. This can cause fatal complications like embolism of air or ballo...
