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 transvenous mitral commissurotomy in patients with mitral stenosis and coexistent hyperthyroidism.
Percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy (PTMC) was performed successfully without complications in 3 patients with severe mitral stenosis and hyperthyroidism. All 3 patients had pliable, noncalcified mitral valves. One patient who had been treated with methimazole for 6 months was still in a hyperthyroid state when she presented with intractable congestive heart failure and was found to ...
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 کاملAtrial Septa1 Puncture Technique in Percutaneous Transvenous Mitral Commissurotomy
Transseptal catheterization is a vital component of percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy. Therefore, a well-executed transseptal catheterization is the key to a safe and successful percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy. Two major problems inherent in atrial septel puncture for percutaneous transvenous mitral cornmissurotomy are cardiac perforation and puncture of an inappropr...
