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 کاملPrediction of successful outcome in 130 patients undergoing percutaneous balloon mitral valvotomy.
We studied 130 patients undergoing percutaneous balloon mitral valvotomy. The relation between valvular morphology according to a previously described echocardiographic scoring system and hemodynamic outcome expressed as qualitative ("good" and suboptimal) and as absolute change in valve area was analyzed. The relative importance of the individual components of this echocardiographic score (val...
متن کاملFollow-up of patients undergoing percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy. Analysis of factors determining restenosis.
This study reports the clinical follow-up (13 +/- 1 months) of 100 consecutive patients who underwent percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy (PMV). Echocardiographic (n = 32) and cardiac catheterization (n = 37) data from this group are also included. Patients were divided into two groups by an echocardiographic score. PMV resulted in a good hemodynamic result (post-PMV mitral valve area, greate...
متن کاملEmergent balloon mitral valvotomy in patients presenting with cardiac arrest, cardiogenic shock or refractory pulmonary edema.
OBJECTIVES The present study was performed to determine the outcome of emergent balloon mitral valvotomy (BMV) in patients with cardiac arrest, pulmonary edema or cardiogenic shock. BACKGROUND In India, many patients with mitral stenosis present in critical condition. They have high mortality despite surgical relief. The role of BMV in such patients is ill-defined. METHODS Of 558 patients u...
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...
