| Popis: | The feasibility of a transjugular approach to septal puncture and Inoue-balloon mitral valvuloplasty (BMV) was studied in 20 patients with severe mitral stenosis and varying degrees of anatomic atrial distortion. Left atrial entry by transjugular septal puncture was achieved without difficulty and BMV completed in all patients. In all of 16 patients who had high septal punctures, crossing the mitral valve with the Inoue-balloon was consistently simple and quick. In one patient, septal dilation after very high septal puncture led to a tear extending to the atrial free wall, resulting in cardiac tamponade requiring surgery. Another patient developed severe mitral regurgitation after BMV and required mitral valve replacement. Excellent results were obtained in 16 patients. The transjugular approach simplifies BMV procedure significantly in patients with distorted atrial anatomy and allows rapid patient mobilization. Its safety and efficacy need to be established in larger studies. |
