Percutaneous Mitral Balloon Valvuloplasty for Patients with Rheumatic Mitral Stenosis

Immediate and Long-Term Follow-up Results

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Contemporary Cardiology ((CONCARD))

Abstract

Since its introduction in 1984 by Inoue et al. (1), percutaneous mitral balloon commissurotomy or valvotomy (PMV) has been used successfully as an alternative to open or closed surgical mitral commissurotomy in the treatment of patients with symptomatic rheumatic mitral stenosis (2–20). PMV produces good immediate hemodynamic outcome, low complication rates, and clinical improvement in the majority of patients with mitral stenosis (2–20). PMV is safe and effective, and it provides sustained clinical and hemodynamic improvement in patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis. The immediate and long-term results appear to be similar to those of surgical mitral commisssurotomy (2–20). Today, PMV is the preferred form of therapy for relief of mitral stenosis for a selected group of patients with symptomatic mitral stenosis.
