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 (

Balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) was performed in 219 elderly patients with aortic stenosis between December 1985 and April 1990. Forty-three patients underwent repeat BAV for symptomatic restenosis of the aortic valve 13?8 mo following initial BAV. To evaluate the outcome following initial and re
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
