Implication
May guide selection for balloon mitral valvuloplasty by echo score, LVEDP, and NYHA class; leaves open randomized confirmation.
Structured PICO
P
Population
146 patients with mitral stenosis
I
Intervention
Percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty
O
Outcome
Five-year event-free survival (absence of mitral-valve replacement, repeat valvuloplasty, or death from cardiac causes)composite
Long-term event-free survival after percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty is favorable and can be predicted by baseline echocardiographic score, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, and NYHA functional class.
