Long‐Term Effect of Percutaneous Transvenous Mitral Commissurotomy on Atrial Electromechanical Delay and P‐Wave Dispersion in Patients With Severe Mitral Stenosis

Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, Volume 31, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) remains a significant health burden, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries, with rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) contributing substantially to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy (PTMC) is an effective treatment for symptomatic MS, yet its ...

Novel Wire‐Assisted Mitral Commissurotomy Reduces Valve Crossing Time Compared to Inoue‐Balloon Technique of Treating Mitral Stenosis, Randomized Controlled Trial (CROSSVal)

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 107, Issue 1, Page 297-303, January 1, 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Percutaneous mitral commissurotomy (PMC) of mitral stenosis is routinely performed by the Inoue balloon technique (IBT) which may be challenging with respect to valvular crossing. Using a novel wire‐assisted method (WAM) may improve feasibility and time efficiency. Aims In a randomized clinical trial, we compared the feasibility and

Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction and Incident Cardiac Conduction Dysfunction: Exploring the Mediating Effects of Electrophysiological Parameters

Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, Volume 31, Issue 1, January 2026.
Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and incident cardiac conduction dysfunction (CCD). Models were adjusted for age, waist‐to‐hip ratio, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, ischemic heart diseases, atrial fibrillation, left ventricular myocardial mass, left ventricular end‐diastolic volume, PQ interval, QRS duration and corrected QT interval ...

Cardiac conduction abnormalities during percutaneous balloon mitral or aortic valvotomy.

, 1989
To evaluate the electrophysiologic changes in the cardiac conduction system that occur during percutaneous mitral or aortic balloon valvotomy, we prospectively studied the conduction system in 19 patients (10 mitral, 8 aortic, and 1 both) undergoing this

Transcatheter therapy for Lutembacher′s syndrome: The road less travelled

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2014
An 18-year-old male with Lutembacher′s syndrome underwent balloon mitral valvotomy (BMV) and device closure of the atrial septal defect (ASD). BMV necessitated technical modification of taking the Inoue balloon over the wire (OTW) into the left ventricle

Maternal and fetal outcomes in pregnant females with rheumatic heart disease

Indian Heart Journal, 2021
Background: Cardiac diseases are seen in 1–3% of pregnancies. In developing countries rheumatic heart disease (RHD) contributes a major cause of cardiac disorders. Objective: To study the maternal and fetal outcome in women with valvular heart disease or

Percutaneous Balloon Mitral Valvotomy During Pregnancy

Pakistan Journal of Biological Sciences, 2013
Rheumatic mitral valve stenosis continues to be the most frequently encountered clinically significant valvular abnormality in pregnant women. We retrospectively studied the fetal outcomes of patients with severe rheumatic Mitral Valve Stenosis (MS) admitted to hospital with heart failure and underwent Percutaneous Balloon Mitral Valvotomy (PBMV ...

An Unexpected Right Turn: Multipurpose A2 Catheter Causing Right Atrial Perforation

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 11, November 2025.
Multipurpose A2 catheter induced iatrogenic right atrial perforation. ABSTRACT Fluoroscopic anatomy varies between patients and should be confirmed with echocardiography or angiography to avoid complications. Multipurpose A2 catheters risk cardiac perforation and must be advanced only over soft J‐tipped wires. If perforation is suspected, stabilize the

Massive Acute Thrombosis of a Mechanical Mitral Valve in a Young Patient on Acenocoumarin: A Case Report Comparing Surgical and Thrombolytic Approaches

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Obstructive mechanical mitral valve thrombosis is a life‐threatening emergency requiring urgent intervention. Surgery is often first‐line; thrombolysis may be considered in high‐risk cases. A multidisciplinary approach is essential to balance thromboembolic and bleeding risks, emphasizing early recognition, optimized anticoagulation, and ...

Infective endocarditis following percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty: A case report of a 25‐year‐old female from Jimma Medical Center of Ethiopia

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 12, Issue 10, October 2024.
Key Clinical Message Rheumatic mitral stenosis is a common rheumatic heart diseases in sub‐Saharan Afrleading to increased morbidity and mortality. Percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty is the mainstay of less invasive therapy in those with moderate to severe valve stenosis, being symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy.
