Percutaneous 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.

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...
متن کاملEchocardiographic 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 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...
