Progressive improvement in pulmonary vascular resistance after percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty.
Percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty has been proposed as a nonsurgical technique for treating high-risk patients with mitral stenosis who are deferred from mitral valve replacement. The effect of this technique on patients with pulmonary hypertension, however, has not been fully evaluated. Accordingly, serial assessment of pulmonary vascular resistance was made in 14 patients with critical mitral...
متن کاملDeterioration after mitral valvotomy.
It is now more than ten years since the introduction of mitral valvotomy. The initial results (Baker, Brock, and Campbell 1950; Baker et al., 1952) and a three-year follow-up of the first 45 Guy's cases (Baker et al., 1955) have been published. We now report a larger group of 200 patients followed up for over five years, which allows a more complete assessment of the long-term benefits of mitra...
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...
متن کاملQuinidine Therapy after Mitral Valvotomy
Nearly half a century has passed since quinidine was first used to convert atrial fibrillation to regular sinus rhythm in man (Frey, 1918). There is general agreement nowadays that the cardiorespiratory benefits resulting from the successful reversion of long-standing atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm are worth the risk of quinidine therapy (Hay, 1924; Stroud, LaPlace, and Reisinger, 1932; Ko...
