We studied the first 202 patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) who underwent percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PBMV) with the Inoue balloon catheter for a follow-up (FU) period of 5-11 years. Pre-and post-PBMV and at FU, the mean left atrial pressure was 21.3 ؎ 7.4, 10.2 ؎ 5.6, and 1
This report documents clinical and hemodynamic benefits of balloon mitral valvuloplasty (BMV) using a bifoil balloon catheter from a single center in 415 consecutive cases of rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS). The procedure was successful in 396 (95.2%) patients, with an increase in mitral valve area (
