Does Balloon Mitral Valvotomy by the Inoue technique improve maternal and fetal outcomes in pregnant women?
Balloon mitral valvotomy using the Inoue technique is a safe and effective intervention for pregnant women, offering significant symptomatic relief and favorable maternal and fetal outcomes.
Supports Inoue BMV in symptomatic pregnant women with mitral stenosis; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation before practice change.
During pregnancy, BMV by the Inoue technique is feasible, safe, and effective. There is marked symptomatic relief, along with excellent maternal and fetal outcomes.
