Juvenile Mitral Stenosis Presenting as Acute Pulmonary Edema Treated with Balloon Mitral Valvotomy
Juvenile mitral stenosis is defined by poor left atrial emptying due to limited opening of the mitral-valve orifice in patients under the age of 20 years. Balloon mitral valvotomy is the current treatment of choice for juvenile mitral stenosis.
