Percutaneous mitral commissurotomy for restenosis after surgical commissurotomy: late efficacy and implications for patient selection.
OBJECTIVES The results of percutaneous mitral commissurotomy were assessed in patients with restenosis after surgical commissurotomy. BACKGROUND Balloon dilation is feasible in patients with restenosis after surgical commissurotomy, but little is known about its late efficacy. METHODS We studied 232 patients who had undergone percutaneous mitral commissurotomy a mean of 16 +/- 8 years after...
متن کاملBalloon Mitral Commissurotomy After Previous Surgical Commissurotomy
Background. Mitral restenosis after surgical mitral commissurotomy often occurs within 5-15 years, necessitating a repeat procedure. Balloon mitral commissurotomy (BMC) has been advocated as an alternative to repeat surgery for mitral restenosis. Methods and Results. The purposes of this study are to determine the shortand intermediate-term outcomes of patients undergoing BMC after previous sur...
متن کاملSerial echocardiographic evaluation of restenosis after successful percutaneous mitral commissurotomy.
OBJECTIVES This study was designed to determine predictors of restenosis after successful percutaneous mitral commissurotomy (PMC) and its relationship to late clinical outcome. BACKGROUND The restenosis rate after PMC and its relationship to late clinical outcome is poorly defined. METHODS Serial echocardiography was performed in 310 patients who underwent PMC. Restenosis, defined as mitra...
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 کاملPercutaneous transhepatic mitral commissurotomy.
A novel, transhepatic approach to mitral valvuloplasty is described in a patient with an inferior vena caval filter. After transhepatic transseptal puncture, an Inoue dilatation catheter was passed through the hepatic parenchyma and across the atrial septum. Balloon mitral valvuloplasty was performed without complications. This approach should be considered when femoral venous access is restric...
