Balloon mitral valvotomy: an autopsy study
International Journal of Cardiology, 1995The autopsy findings in 20 patients who died following percutaneous balloon mitral valvotomy are reported. The procedure was attempted in 508 patients. In 17 of the 20 patients, balloon mitral valvotomy was attempted as a salvage procedure. Ten patients died in the immediate post valvotomy period (within 24 h), seven died within a week and three ...

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, 2012 Background: The triple lumen Inoue balloon is routinely used for Balloon Mitral Valvotomy (BMV) in India. Its major limitation is the high cost. The double lumen Accura balloon is less expensive, making it an attractive alternative in the developing ...

Balloon Rupture During Balloon Mitral Valvotomy
Journal of Invasive Cardiology, 2021The reuse of sterilized Inoue catheters is practiced widely in developing countries to bring down the procedure cost. However, blood can enter the space between the latex layers and become embedded in the mesh layer, which is difficult to clean when sterilizing the catheters. This is a common cause of rupture.

Percutaneous Mitral Balloon Valvotomy
Cardiology Clinics, 1991Percutaneous balloon mitral valvotomy is a technique that allows relief of mitral stenosis without thoracotomy. Commissurotomy of the mitral valve with proper sized balloons that are placed antegrade by means of a transseptal catheterization results in good immediate and midterm results in most patients.

Percutaneous Mitral Balloon Valvotomy
New England Journal of Medicine, 1992Percutaneous Mitral Balloon Valvotomy by Means of the Double-Balloon Technique. The inflation of 18-mm (above) and 20-mm (below) dilating balloons can be seen in a stenotic mitral valve. Note the "waist" produced by the stenotic valve (arrows) before full inflation causes commissural splitting.

Percutaneous balloon mitral valvotomy in mitral restenosis
European Heart Journal, 1996Mitral restenosis often occurs within 5 to 15 years of surgical valvotomy. Percutaneous balloon mitral valvotomy is well established as a safe and effective alternative to mitral stenosis surgery, but only a few small studies have reported on the procedure.(i) To evaluate the safety and efficacy of percutaneous balloon mitral valvotomy in patients with

Percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, 2007AbstractPercutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy (PMBV) was introduced in 1984 by Inoue who developed the procedure as a logical extension of surgical closed commissurotomy. Since then, PMBV has emerged as the treatment of choice for severe pliable rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS).

Mitral Valve Endocarditis Following Balloon Mitral Valvotomy
Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2001The case of a patient who developed fungal valve endocarditis due to Candida albicans following balloon mitral valvotomy is presented. The patient did not have any obvious predisposing factors which led to the development of fungal endocarditis.
