A case of left ventricular perforation by straight-tipped balloon catheter during doubleballoon mitral valvuloplasty with fatal outcome is presented. Technical considerations to prevent this complication are discussed.
Background: The long-term effect of balloon mitral valvuloplasty (BMV) on the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with severe mitral stenosis (MS) remains undetermined. Aims: To assess the effect of successful BMV on the incidence of chronic AF in patients with severe MS, compare the r
