Persistent pulmonary artery hypertension in patients undergoing balloon mitral valvotomy
Pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) is known to regress after successful balloon mitral valvotomy (BMV). Data of persistent pulmonary artery hypertension (PPAH) following BMV is scarce. We analyzed the clinical, echocardiographic, and hemodynamic data of 701 consecutive patients who have undergone successful BMV in our institute from 1997 to 2003. Data of 287 patients who had PPAH (defined by pulmo...
متن کاملInoue balloon mitral valvotomy in patients with severe valvular and subvalvular deformity.
OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the immediate and long-term results of percutaneous Inoue balloon mitral valvotomy in patients with severe valvular and subvalvular deformity. METHODS We reviewed the prevalvotomy transthoracic echocardiograms of patients from the North American multicenter Inoue registry with total Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) echocardiographic scores > or = 10. The ec...
متن کاملPrediction of successful outcome in 130 patients undergoing percutaneous balloon mitral valvotomy.
We studied 130 patients undergoing percutaneous balloon mitral valvotomy. The relation between valvular morphology according to a previously described echocardiographic scoring system and hemodynamic outcome expressed as qualitative ("good" and suboptimal) and as absolute change in valve area was analyzed. The relative importance of the individual components of this echocardiographic score (val...
متن کاملFollow-up of patients undergoing percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy. Analysis of factors determining restenosis.
This study reports the clinical follow-up (13 +/- 1 months) of 100 consecutive patients who underwent percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy (PMV). Echocardiographic (n = 32) and cardiac catheterization (n = 37) data from this group are also included. Patients were divided into two groups by an echocardiographic score. PMV resulted in a good hemodynamic result (post-PMV mitral valve area, greate...
متن کاملMitral balloon valvotomy and left atrial thrombus.
T he presence of thrombus in the left atrium (LA) is an important factor in the selection of cases for percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy (MBV). This is because of the danger of embolisation caused by manipulation of guidewires and balloon catheters. The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association recommendations for MBV emphasise absence of LA thrombus. Transoesophageal echoca...
