Abstract
PBMV has become a safe and effective therapeutic option in a wide range
of patients with mitral stenosis, and thus appears to be an attractive
therapeutic alternative to surgery in patients who are good candidate for
commissurotomy. PBMV can be done safely in cardiac catheterization
labrotaries percutaneously without general anesthesia, with relatively low
risk and patients can leave the hospital 24 hours after the procedure.
Both The short and long term results of percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty
were similar to or even better than results of surgically closed mitral
commissurotomy. However, some complications had been reported with
PBMV but those complications are low especially with increased
operator experience.
The aim of this study was to see the effect of PBMV in mitral valve area
immediate improvement, regression during one year after initial
improvement and the factors affecting both improvement and regression.
Also the study evaluated NYHA improvement post PBMV. The study
aimed to see the mortality and complications of the procedure and need
for revalvotomy and surgery throughout one year of follow-up.
