Role of Echocardiographic Imaging in Percutaneous Balloon Mitral Valvotomy
Mitral stenosis (MS) is a still frequently encountered in India and Bangladesh. Untreated MS contributes to the morbidity and mortality. Balloon mitral Valvotomy is effective and commonly used for relief of obstruction in symptomatic patients. The case selection is guided by clinical characteristics and imaging. Echocardiography is the most important imaging modality to assess severity of obstr...
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 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 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 کاملCardiac conduction abnormalities during percutaneous balloon mitral or aortic valvotomy.
To evaluate the electrophysiologic changes in the cardiac conduction system that occur during percutaneous mitral or aortic balloon valvotomy, we prospectively studied the conduction system in 19 patients (10 mitral, 8 aortic, and 1 both) undergoing this procedure. A His bundle electrogram was recorded in all patients, and when sinus rhythm was present, the atrioventricular (AV) node effective ...
