Introduction: Mitral Stenosis (MS) is a chronic complication seen among patients with Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD). Percutaneous Transvenous Mitral Commissurotomy (PTMC) is a non surgical intervention indicated exclusively for MS with favourable valve morphology. Aim: To determine the outcomes of PTMC in middle aged Indian population in relation to clinical and haemodynamic parameters. Materials and Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, between 1994 and 2019. Study was based on analysis of data from 82 patients diagnosed with MS, that underwent successful PTMC. Patients in the age group of 40 to 60 years with symptomatic MS {Mitral Valve Area (MVA) 1.5 cm2. Participants were divided into two groups based on Wilkins score of 8 as a cut-off. The continuous variables of the study subjects were described and interpreted by averages and compared between the groups by independent t-test. The pre, post and follow-up characteristics were analysed by averages and interpreted by paired t-test and confirmed by repeated measures of ANOVA. Results: Group A with Wilkin’s score ≤8 showed better results in terms of functional status improvement [New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification], MVA, mean gradient across mitral valve and Pulmonary Arterial Pressure (PAP) with p-values |
