Persistent pulmonary artery hypertension in patients undergoing balloon mitral valvotomy
Pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) is known to regress after successful balloon mitral valvotomy (BMV). Data of persistent pulmonary artery hypertension (PPAH) following BMV is scarce. We analyzed the clinical, echocardiographic, and hemodynamic data of 701 consecutive patients who have undergone successful BMV in our institute from 1997 to 2003. Data of 287 patients who had PPAH (defined by pulmo...
متن کاملAcute mitral regurgitation due to leaflet tear after balloon valvotomy.
Percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy (PMV) has evolved into an effective method for the treatment of patients with symptomatic mitral stenosis. An increase in mitral regurgitation can occur in '45% of patients undergoing PMV. Severe mitral regurgitation can be caused by rupture of chordae or of a papillary muscle. Noncommissural tearing of the mitral leaflet is also an important mechanism of s...
متن کاملLarge left segmental pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm after right heart catheterization: successful percutaneous closure combined with balloon mitral valvotomy.
A 76-year-old woman with a history of rheumatic mitral valve disease, with severe stenosis and mild regurgitation, was admitted to our hospital in New York Heart Association class IV congestive heart failure, 2 months after an uneventful right heart catheterization was performed at another medical center. Chest x-rays showed pulmonary congestion and a large, dense, round image of 5 cm in diamet...
متن کاملMitral balloon valvotomy and left atrial thrombus.
T he presence of thrombus in the left atrium (LA) is an important factor in the selection of cases for percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy (MBV). This is because of the danger of embolisation caused by manipulation of guidewires and balloon catheters. The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association recommendations for MBV emphasise absence of LA thrombus. Transoesophageal echoca...
متن کاملPostoperative Outcomes of Mitral Valve Repair for Mitral Restenosis after Percutaneous Balloon Mitral Valvotomy
BACKGROUND There have been a number of studies on mitral valve replacement and repeated percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy for mitral valve restenosis after percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy. However, studies on mitral valve repair for these patients are rare. In this study, we analyzed postoperative outcomes of mitral valve repair for mitral valve restenosis after percutaneous mitral ba...
