Transoesophageal echocardiographic assessment of mitral valve commissural morphology predicts outcome after balloon mitral valvotomy.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the value of transoesophageal echocardiography in the assessment of commissural morphology and prediction of outcome after balloon mitral valvotomy (BMV). DESIGN Prospective study. SETTING Tertiary cardiac referral centre. PATIENTS 72 consecutive patients (mean age 61.3 years, range 38-89 years) referred for BMV. INTERVENTIONS Transoesophageal echocardiography w...

متن کاملAssessment of mitral valve commissural morphology by transoesophageal echocardiography predicts outcome after balloon mitral valvotomy.
BACKGROUND Balloon mitral valvotomy (BMV) is a safe and an effective treatment in patients with symptomatic rheumatic mitral stenosis. This study was conducted to validate the importance of assessing the morphology of mitral valve commissures by transoesophageal echocardiography and thereby predicting the outcome after balloon mitral valvotomy [BMV]. MATERIALS AND METHODS Study consisted of 1...
متن کاملSignificance of commissural calcification on outcome of mitral balloon valvotomy.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the significance of commissural calcification, identified by transthoracic echocardiography, on the haemodynamic and symptomatic outcome of mitral balloon valvotomy. METHODS Commissural calcification was graded from 0-4 using parasternal short axis transthoracic views. The morphology of the mitral valve was also assessed using the Massachusetts General Hospital echo scor...
متن کاملMitral valve apparatus: echocardiographic features predicting the outcome of percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the significance of involvement of subvalvular apparatus in the outcome of percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy (PMBV) in patients with mitral stenosis (MS) and to determine the predictive value of chordal length compared with current echocardiographic scores. METHODS Patients with significant MS were selected according to the Massachusetts General Hospital score (MGHS...
