Implication
Echo score ≤8 favors PMV success in mitral stenosis; leaves open optimal strategies for higher scores.

Intervention
Percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (PMV)
Percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty is the preferred therapy for symptomatic rheumatic mitral stenosis in patients with suitable valve anatomy, particularly those with an echocardiographic score ≤ 8.
Cite This Study
Igor F. Palacios (2020) conducted a review in symptomatic rheumatic mitral stenosis. Percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (PMV) vs. surgical mitral commissurotomy was evaluated. Percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty is effective for symptomatic mitral stenosis, though patients with an echocardiographic score > 8 have only a 50% chance of a successful hemodynamic result.
