Percutaneous balloon dilatation of the mitral valve in critically ill young patients with intractable heart failure.
OBJECTIVE To assess the outcome of percutaneous balloon dilatation of the mitral valve in critically ill young patients with intractable heart failure. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of all such patients presenting over a period of 4 years. PATIENTS Of 432 consecutive patients undergoing percutaneous balloon dilatation of the mitral valve, 12 (mean age 29 years) with intractable heart failur...
متن کاملSHORT TERM CLINICAL OUTCOME OF PERCUTANEOUS BALLOON MITRAL VALVULOPLASTY VERSUS SURGICAL CLOSED MITRAL COMMISSUROTOMY
BaIlon mitral valvuloplasty and closed mitral valve conunissurotomy were performed in 450 and 127 patients, respectively. Also, 254 patients with severe mitral stenosis were enrolled in a prospective randomized trial comparing the two procedures. Immediately after balloon mitral valvuloplasty, mean left atrial pressure was 11.38±3.54 mmHg, transmitral valve gradient was 1.8±2 mmHg, and mit...
متن کاملImmediate Results of Percutaneous Mitral Balloon Valvuloplasty in Patients with Mitral Stenosis
Introduction: Mitral stenosis is a prevalent valvular disease in developing countries. Percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (PMBV) is the gold standard treatment. The main objective of this study was to assess the initial results of PMBV in patients with mitral stenosis during 16 years (2002-2018) in Mashhad, Iran. Materials and Methods: From April 2002 to March 2018, 770 patients underwen...
متن کاملExercise ventilation after balloon dilatation of the mitral valve.
BACKGROUND Exertional dyspnoea is a limiting symptom in many patients with mitral stenosis but its causes remain incompletely understood. Ventilation during exercise is abnormal in chronic heart failure of all causes and there is increased ventilatory cost of carbon dioxide production. PATIENTS 23 patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis undergoing percutaneous balloon dilatation of the mitral...
متن کاملPercutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty in comparison with open mitral valve commissurotomy for mitral stenosis during pregnancy.
OBJECTIVES We sought to compare the maternal and fetal outcomes of patients with severe mitral stenosis submitted to percutaneous balloon dilation versus open mitral valve commissurotomy (MVC) during pregnancy. BACKGROUND Heart failure in patients with mitral stenosis complicating pregnancy is a common problem in developing countries. Since 1984, percutaneous dilation of the mitral valve usin...
