Advantage of Inoue balloon catheter in mitral balloon valvotomy: experience with 220 consecutive patients.
Percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy (PMV) using the Inoue balloon catheter was attempted in 220 consecutive patients with severe symptomatic mitral stenosis. Their age range was 10-63 mean 30 +/- 10 years; 161 patients were females and 59 were males; 29 patients were in atrial fibrillation. Eleven patients were pregnant; 14 patients underwent previous surgical commissurotomy. The procedure wa...
متن کاملSignificance of commissural calcification on outcome of mitral balloon valvotomy.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the significance of commissural calcification, identified by transthoracic echocardiography, on the haemodynamic and symptomatic outcome of mitral balloon valvotomy. METHODS Commissural calcification was graded from 0-4 using parasternal short axis transthoracic views. The morphology of the mitral valve was also assessed using the Massachusetts General Hospital echo scor...

متن کاملAssessment of mitral valve commissural morphology by transoesophageal echocardiography predicts outcome after balloon mitral valvotomy.
BACKGROUND Balloon mitral valvotomy (BMV) is a safe and an effective treatment in patients with symptomatic rheumatic mitral stenosis. This study was conducted to validate the importance of assessing the morphology of mitral valve commissures by transoesophageal echocardiography and thereby predicting the outcome after balloon mitral valvotomy [BMV]. MATERIALS AND METHODS Study consisted of 1...
