Key result
Percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty achieved a 97% success rate and increased valve area from 0.9±1.1 to 1.8±0.2 cm2 in patients with mitral stenosis.
Why the study?
Mitral stenosis is a prevalent valvular disease in developing countries, and the authors aimed to assess the initial results of PMBV over 16 years in Mashhad, Iran.

Does percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty improve valve area in patients with mitral stenosis?
Percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty is a highly successful procedure for immediately increasing valve area in patients with mitral stenosis.
Zahedi et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Mitral stenosis (n=770). Percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (PMBV) was evaluated on Success rate. Percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty achieved a 97% success rate and increased valve area from 0.9±1.1 to 1.8±0.2 cm2 in patients with mitral stenosis.
