MLS index correlated with MVA by 2D planimetry pre and post PBMV (r=0.453 and r=0.668 respectively, p=0.0001) and strongly correlated with MVA using PHT post PBMV (r=0.768, p=0.0001).

Overview

MLS index may simplify MVA assessment in mitral stenosis; leaves open validation versus flow-dependent methods post-PBMV.

Structured PICO

Population

90 patients with symptomatic moderate to severe mitral stenosis undergoing percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PBMV), age 22-56 years, 77.8% female.

Intervention

Mitral leaflet separation (MLS) index measurement using two-dimensional echocardiography

Comparator

Traditional echocardiographic methods (2D planimetry and pressure half time)

Outcome

Correlation of MLS index with mitral valve area (MVA) measured by traditional methods pre and post PBMVsurrogate

The mitral leaflet separation index is a simple and effective 2D echocardiographic method for assessing mitral valve area, showing excellent correlation with traditional methods, though it cannot evaluate flow-dependent outcomes like mitral regurgitation post-valvuloplasty.
