Popis: Mitral stenosis (MS) is the most common valvular heart disease revealed or exacerbated by pregnancy. Percutaneous mitral balloon commissurotomy (PMC) is currently the treatment of choice when mitral valve morphology is favorable.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immediate, medium and long term results of percutaneous mitral balloon commissurotomy in pregnant women with a severe symptomatic mitral stenosis despite medical treatment.It is a retrospective study including 12 pregnant patients diagnosed with severe mitral stenosis and hospitalized in the cardiology department of Habib Thameur hospital between 1994 and 2014. A clinical and ultrasonographic monitoring was performed for over 15 years.Mean patients age was 31.5±4.4 years. All patients were in NYHA class III or IV despite medical treatment. Mitral regurgitation was rated as moderate in four cases. Functional improvement was observed in all cases immediately after the procedure. Mitral valve area increased from 1.02±0.5cmThe effectiveness of the percutaneous mitral balloon commissurotomy is clearly documented by clinical and echocardiographic evaluation. In the case of pregnancy, the goal is not so much to obtain an optimal result but to cause hemodynamic improvement authorizing the continuation of pregnancy and childbirth.
