چکیده

Evaluation of mitral flow dynamics during exercise is critically important in patients who receive percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy (PTMC) because limited mitral flow during exercise provokes hemodynamic deterioration and involves cardiogenic symptoms in patients with mitral stenosis. To examine mitral flow dynamics during exercise, we applied continuous wave Doppler technique in 20 patients with mitral stenosis. Exercise Doppler study was performed 2 days before and 5 days after PTMC. PTMC increased mitral valve area from 1.0 +/- 0.3 (mean +/- SD) to 1.9 +/- 0.5 cm2 and decreased mean transmitral pressure gradient from 8 +/- 2 to 4 +/- 1 mm Hg at rest. Moreover, PTMC decreased mean transmitral pressure gradient from 21 +/- 6 to 11 +/- 4 mm Hg at submaximal exercise. The extent of an increase in mitral valve area by PTMC correlated with a decrease in the mean transmitral pressure gradient at the submaximal exercise (r = -0.76, p less than 0.01) and that at rest (r = -0.52, p less than 0.05). Heart rate after PTMC during exercise was significantly lower than that before PTMC, indicating that the compensatory mechanism (tachycardia) to increase cardiac output during exercise is less necessary after PTMC. Thus, we conclude that the mitral flow dynamics during exercise is improved, as well as the resting mitral flow dynamics 5 days after PTMC, and that exercise Doppler study enabled us to make a noninvasive evaluation of the mitral flow dynamics in patients who receive PTMC.

The Association between B-type Natriuretic Peptide Family and Successful Percutaneous Transvenous Mitral Commissurotomy: A Systematic Review

B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) level is known to increase in patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis. In this systematic review, we aimed to discuss the possible association between plasma BNP level and the success rate of percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy. PubMed and Scopus databases were searched systematically, using the following key terms: “B-type natriuretic peptide” OR “BN...

Pathophysiological Basis for Early Symptomatic Improvement

Background. Improvement of exertional dyspnea occurs immediately after percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy (PTMC), but the pathophysiological basis for this early symptomatic improvement has not been elucidated. Methods and Results. Exercise hemodynamic measurement and exercise ventilatory measurement with arterial blood gas analysis were performed in 21 patients aged 50.4+9.5 years ...

SHORT 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...

Atrial Septa1 Puncture Technique in Percutaneous Transvenous Mitral Commissurotomy

Transseptal catheterization is a vital component of percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy. Therefore, a well-executed transseptal catheterization is the key to a safe and successful percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy. Two major problems inherent in atrial septel puncture for percutaneous transvenous mitral cornmissurotomy are cardiac perforation and puncture of an inappropr...
