Mechanics of percutaneous balloon valvotomy for mitral valvular stenosis

Heart and Vessels, 1988
The present study was performed to measure and calculate the mechanical force of percutaneous balloon valvotomy (PBV) for mitral valvular stenosis, using an equation pertaining to the mechanical force of the balloon needed to dilate the stenotic mitral valve.

Journal of the American College of Surgeons, 1998
Rheumatic mitral valve stenosis contributes to significant morbidity in pregnancy. Surgical commissurotomy has been performed during pregnancy in patients with severe mitral stenosis for several decades, but the efficacy and safety of percutaneous balloon mitral valvotomy (BMV) in this subset has not been clearly defined.In 1996 and 1997, 40 pregnant ...

Predictors of increased mitral regurgitation after percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Diagnosis, 1990
AbstractLeft ventriculography (LVG) was performed to assess severity of mitral regurgitation (MR) on a scale of 0–4 + in 157 patients before and immediately after percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy (PMV). There were 129 women and 28 men aged 51 ± 1 (range 13–87) yr.

Balloon mitral valvotomy. A new technique.

The Journal of the Association of Physicians of India, 1990
Balloon mitral valvotomy is a new technique for non-operative treatment of mitral stenosis and is performed by using single or double balloon. The technique is complex, involves transseptal puncture, however, can be safely performed in experienced catheterisation laboratory.
