Mitral valvotomy with the inoue balloon in juvenile rheumatic mitral stenosis

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1995
We conclude that balloon valvotomy of the mitral valve with the Inoue technique is a safe and effective procedure for treating juvenile rheumatic MS. The almost complete absence of iatrogenic atrial septal defect and the low incidence of significant mitral regurgitation is noteworthy.

Balloon valvotomy for mitral stenosis associated with moderate mitral regurgitation

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1995
In summary, the possibility of developing moderate to severe (3+) MR after balloon dilatation was greater in patients with preexisting moderate MR. Nevertheless, improvements in hemodynamics and increases in mitral valve area can be equally achieved using balloon mitral valvotomy for treatment of mitral stenosis in patients with or without moderate MR.

Percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy for patients with mitral stenosis

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1994
This study reports the immediate outcome, in-hospital complications, and long-term clinical follow-up of patients undergoing percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy. In most series, this procedure is reported to increase mitral valve area from less than 1.0 cm2 to at least 2.0 cm2.

Percutaneous Mitral Balloon Valvotomy

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1994
To the Editor. —Drs Carrol 1 and Feldman 1 state that mitral balloon valvotomy has proven to be safe and cost-effective. I have some question with regard to the cost-effectiveness, since it requires a catheterization laboratory, the installation of which costs an average of $1 million or more.

Single balloon valvotomy for rheumatic mitral restenosis

International Journal of Cardiology, 1989
Four male patients aged 22 to 35 years (mean 29 +/- 5.6) with mitral restenosis following closed mitral valvotomy 6 to 12 years (mean 8.5 +/- 2.5) ago were subjected to percutaneous single balloon valvotomy. There was significant increase in the area of the mitral valve accompanied by a substantial reduction in the transmitral gradient (P less than 0 ...

Percutaneous balloon mitral valvotomy in patients with history of embolism

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1993
Abstract In this article, we report the results and follow-up data of 16 patients with mitral stenosis and history of embolism who underwent percutaneous balloon mitral valvotomy (PBMV) between July 1990 and June 1992 at our cardiac center.

Effectiveness of percutaneous balloon mitral valvotomy during pregnancy

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1991
During pregnancy, medically refractory congestive heart failure due to mitral stenosis continues to present a clinical challenge and optimal management remains controversial. Thirteen women underwent balloon mitral valvotomy for control of functional class III or IV congestive heart failure due to mitral stenosis during pregnancy.

Evaluation of in vivo morphological results of balloon mitral valvotomy

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 1990
Percutaneous valvotomy is now more often considered for the treatment of mitral stenosis in poor risk patients. The aim of this study was the evaluation of the morphological changes produced by a similar procedure on the mitral valves of nine nonconsecutive patients undergoing a mitral valve replacement because of calcific isolated or prevalent mitral ...

Mitral balloon valvotomy.

British journal of hospital medicine, 1995
Until recently, surgery was the only effective treatment for patients with severe mitral stenosis. Mitral balloon valvotomy is a percutaneous technique which can achieve results comparable to surgery in selected patients.
