Short-term follow-up results of percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty: A single-center experience
Journal Title: Dicle Tıp Dergisi - Year 2014, Vol 41, Issue 4
Abstract
Objective: We sought to analyze short-term clinical, echocardiographic, and hemodynamic consequences of percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (PMBV) in the treatment of rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) in our clinic. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 53 patients (49 females, 5 males; mean age 38±11 years) who underwent PMBV for moderate or severe MS between January 2010 and October 2014. Procedural success was defined as the reaching a mitral valve area (MVA) >1.5 cm2 and absence of grade 3 mitral regurgitation. Results: We were able to perform PMBV in 48 of 53 patients (91%) and all the procedures that were completed were successful. PMBV couldn’t be performed in 3 patients due to inability to pass the mitral valve, 1 patient due to membranous obstructive vena cava and 1 patient due inability to perform septostomi. Two patients who underwent successful PMBV became symptomatic after an average of 14 months follow-up and mitral valve replacement was performed due to moderate-to-severe MS. Patients were followed for an average of 13 ± 8 months and atrial fibrillation development or embolic complications were not observed. Conclusion: Percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty procedure is a safe and effective treatment approach with high success and low complication rates in experienced centers. Key words: Mitral stenosis, percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty, echocardiography, mitral valve area
