Implication

Suggests feasibility of retrograde double-balloon mitral valvuloplasty; leaves open efficacy and safety in larger prospective studies.

Structured PICO

Does percutaneous transluminal mitral valvuloplasty using a retrograde transarterial double-balloon technique improve hemodynamics and valve area in patients with mitral stenosis?

P
Population
54 patients with mitral stenosis (out of a total 72 who underwent PTMV), mean age 39 +/- 11 years, 16 males and 38 females.
I
Intervention
Percutaneous transluminal mitral valvuloplasty (PTMV) using the retrograde transarterial double-balloon technique utilizing the transseptal approach.
O
Outcome
Changes in transmitral mean gradient, cardiac output, and mitral valve area (hemodynamic and echocardiographic).surrogate

The retrograde transarterial double-balloon technique for percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty significantly improves mitral valve area and hemodynamics with an acceptable safety profile in patients with mitral stenosis.
