Percutaneous Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty
Balloon valvuloplasty techniques and equipment have continued to evolve over the last two decades. With this expanded experience, there has been refinement in patient selection and a clearer understanding of the benefits, limitations, and long-term results of balloon valvuloplasty. In this chapter the mechanisms, indications, techniques and clinical results of balloon valvuloplasty of the mitra...
متن کاملPercutaneous balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty.
Percutaneous pulmonary valvuloplasty was performed in 27 patients with congenital pulmonary valve stenosis. A fall in the transvalve gradient of at least 15 mm Hg occurred in 22 patients. In five there was little change in the severity of the stenosis; in three of these the pulmonary valve was dysplastic. None of the successfully treated patients had a dysplastic valve. The two other failures, ...
متن کاملPercutaneous Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty
Several diseases have been acknowledged as pathological causes for mitral valve stenosis (MS), of which rheumatic heart disease is the most prevalent. Rheumatic heart disease is a chronic manifestation of rheumatic carditis, which occurs in 60% to 90% of cases of rheumatic fever. Rheumatic fever is a late sequela to Group A -hemolytic streptococcal infection of the throat. The initial rheumatic...
متن کاملPercutaneous Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty
Mitral stenosis (MS) is the most important long-term sequel of rheumatic fever (RF). MS is associated with deterioration of the functional status of the patients and worsens their long-term prognosis. Percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (BMV) is an effective and safe method in treating rheumatic MS when performed by an experienced operator in a carefully selected patient. A successful BMV...
متن کاملBalloon Aortic Valvuloplasty
Following the description by Lababidi in 1983 of balloon aortic valvuloplasty, it has been adopted by several groups of workers for relief of aortic valve stenosis. The indications for the procedure are peak-to-peak systolic pressure gradients in excess of 50 mmHg with symptoms or ECG changes or a gradient greater than 70 mmHg irrespective of the symptoms or ECG changes. One or more balloon dil...
