Percutaneous Mitral Valvuloplasty Using the Double Balloon Technique: Immediate Results and Determinant Factors of Increasing Mitral Regurgitation
Percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty (PMV) was successfully performed in 112 (95%) out of 118 patients (32 M, 80 F, mean age: 38±11 years) with mitral stenosis. There was a significiant increase in the mitral valve area (MVA) from 0.9±0.2 to 2.0±0.7 cm2 p<0.0001, a decrease in the mean mitral gradie...
