Mitral Stenosis with WPW Syndrome

Immediate Results of Percutaneous Mitral Balloon Valvuloplasty in Patients with Mitral Stenosis

Introduction: Mitral stenosis is a prevalent valvular disease in developing countries. Percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (PMBV) is the gold standard treatment. The main objective of this study was to assess the initial results of PMBV in patients with mitral stenosis during 16 years (2002-2018) in Mashhad, Iran. Materials and Methods: From April 2002 to March 2018, 770 patients underwen...

MITRAL STENOSIS COMPLICATED BY RENAL ARTERY EMBOLISM

Six patients with mitral stenosis complicated by renal artery embolism studied prospectively are presented. In five patients there was unilateral and in one patient bilateral renal artery involvement. The diagnosis was confirmed by intravenous pyelography, retrograde pyelography, renal angiography, renal scan or a combination of these. All had atrial fibrillation, proteinuria and elevated ...

Type A WPW and mitral valve prolapse.

Transient severe mitral regurgitation after paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia in patient with WPW syndrome

A 65-year-old woman was presented with acute abdominal pain. The initial heart rate was 170 beats/min and the ECG showed supraventricular tachycardia (Figure 1A). After intra-venous adenosine administered, it recovered to sinus rhythm and the follow-up ECG showed WPW pattern (Figure 1B). The echocardiography revealed mitral valve prolapse of mid portion of anteromedial valve leaflet (A2) with s...

Supraventricular Tachycardia in Wpw Syndrome

In four patients with WPW syndrome atrial and ventricular premature beats were induced and the changes in form of the ventricular and atrial complexes were studied. Results indicate that, depending upon the timing of the premature atrial beat and the state of refractoriness of the His and Kent bundles, excitation of the ventricles occurs predominantly through the atrioventricular nodal system, ...
