Objective: Percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty (PMV) is an effective treatment for patients with mitral valve stenosis. Echocardiographic score (ES) is a useful predictor of outcomes. However, mitral valve calcification (MVC) has been shown to predict immediate results even in patients with otherwise low ES. We sought to evaluate the usefulness of MVC assessment as a predictor of immediate and long-term outcomes after PMV. Methods: PMV was performed in 168 consecutive patients. Clinical and echocardiographic variables were analyzed. Patients were classified into 2 groups: group 1: minimal MVC and group 2: moderate to severe MVC. Primary success was defined as post-PMV mitral valve area (MVA) ≥ 1.5 cm2 in the absence of major complications. Restenosis (RE) was defined as a decrease in MVA >50% of initial gain or a final MVA |
