Effect of balloon mitral valvotomy on left ventricular function in rheumatic mitral stenosis
2016, Indian Heart JournalCitation Excerpt :Balloon size was chosen according to height.10 Percutaneous BMV was regarded as successful if the mitral valve area post-percutaneous BMV was >1.5 cm2 or the gain was >50% of baseline with no significant mitral regurgitation.11 Follow-up was done within 24 h after BMV, and 3 months after discharge.

2012, Interventional Cardiology ClinicsCitation Excerpt :These findings are in agreement with several follow-up studies of surgical commissurotomy, which demonstrate that patients with calcified mitral valves had a poorer survival compared with those patients with uncalcified valves.40,43,44 PMV also has been shown to be a safe procedure in patients with previous surgical mitral commissurotomy.14,24,29,41–46 Although a good immediate outcome is frequently achieved in these patients, follow-up results are not as favorable as those obtained in patients without previous surgical commissurotomy.

2003, American Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :For a long time, restenosis after surgery was treated with repeat surgery, which was associated with a higher operative mortality rate.25,26 It is now well accepted that balloon valvuloplasty is an effective and safe technique for the treatment of restenosis.10–16 In 3 comparative studies, including respectively, 27, 84, and 133 patients who had previous commissurotomy, success rates and complications were equal and final mitral valve area was slightly less favorable or comparable to the results obtained in patients who did not have previous commissurotomy.
