Balloon mitral valvotomy (BMV) is safe and effective in patients with mitral stenosis (MS) and coexisting mild mitral regurgitation (MR). Influence of preexisting MR on late outcome of BMV is under evaluation. We included 77 patients without MR and 7

We developed a prognostic scoring system to predict the outcome of follow-up after balloon mitral valvotomy. The system incorporates seven variables before valvotomy: age, New York Heart Association class, fluoroscopic calcification, echocardiographi

The follow-up results between Inoue balloon (n = 43, group 1) and double-balloon (n = 43, group 2) mitral valvotomies were compared in a patient-to-patient matched study. Matching was based on patients' age, mitral valve echo score, fluoroscopic calc

This study was conducted to establish the validity of left-sided cardiac output measurement with a Swan-Ganz catheter and assess its accuracy in estimating mitral valve area (MVA) by the Gorlin formula. The use of right-sided cardiac output after bal

Resurgence of the transseptal procedure in the last decade has occurred coincident with the advent of therapeutic catheterizations and in particular mitral balloon valvuloplasty. As larger numbers of these procedures have been performed, experience s

Percutaneous double balloon valvotomy for severe rheumatic mitral stenosis was successfully performed in 281 of 285 consecutive patients. The changes evoked were a decrease of the mean transvalvular gradient from 16 +/- 7 to 5 +/- 3 mm Hg, an increas

We present a patient with a left atrial hemangioma associated with shortness of breath and irregular heart-beats. Imaging modalities used to evaluate this rare tumor demonstrated characteristic features of its vascular nature. After successful surgic

Balloon mitral valvotomy (BMV) provides improvement in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) in patients with severe mitral stenosis. Its normalization, however, remains questionable. We evaluated PVR before, after BMV, and at follow-up in 37 patients

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

We assessed immediate and late outcome in 55 patients with significantly calcified valves (group 1) after balloon mitral valvotomy and compared the results with those from 60 patients with noncalcified or minimally calcified valves (group 2). After v
