Percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty is a procedure used to dilate the mitral valve in the setting of rheumatic mitral valve stenosis. A catheter is inserted into the femoral vein, advanced to the right atrium and across the interatrial septum. Then, the mitral valve is ...
Percutaneous transarterial balloon valvuloplasty for end-stage mitral valve stenosismitral stenosislong-guideballoon valvotomyA case of end-stage mitral stenosis is presented. Because of too high an operative risk surgical treatment was not advisable. Using an original technique, we performed the ...
Percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty has become a common procedure in the treatment of pliable mitral stenosis. By this method, mitral valve area can usually be doubled, thus leading to significant hemodynamic and clinical improvements. 1,2 However, because evaluation of right ventricular volumes ...
mi′tral valve` n. the valve between the left atrium and left ventricle of the heart, consisting of two triangular flaps of tissue, that prevents blood from flowing back into the atrium when the ventricle contracts. Also calledbicuspid valve.Comparetricuspid valve. ...
Catheter balloon valvuloplasty (CBV) using the double-balloon technique was performed on 12 symptomatic patients (mean age, 43 years) with rheumatic mitral valve stenosis. Two dilatation balloons were used in which the diameters approximately equaled the mitral valve anulus diameter as determined. Afte...

Events were defined as death, New York Heart Association functional class III or IV, MV surgery, or repeat mitral valve balloon valvotomy (n = 318). Patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) had significantly worse event-free survival compared with patients with mild TR. Reprinted, with...
Percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty is now a widely accepted alternative to surgical valvotomy for patients with congenital aortic valve stenosis. Mitral valve anomalies are well known to coexist and influence the prognosis from all palliative procedures. Two cases of mitral valve injury occurring during ba...
