Key result
The success rate of percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy was significantly higher in younger patients (10-35 years) at 87.8% compared to older patients (36-60 years) at 52.7% (p=0.003).

Does percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy (PTMC) improve immediate outcomes in patients with severe mitral stenosis across different age groups?
Absolute Event Rate: 87.8% vs 52.7%
p-value: p=0.003
PTMC is an effective treatment for severe mitral stenosis, with significantly higher procedural success rates in younger patients (<35 years) compared to older patients.
Ali et al. (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in Severe mitral valve stenosis (n=60). Percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy (PTMC) vs. Older age group (36-60 years) was evaluated on Success rate of PTMC (p=0.003). The success rate of percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy was significantly higher in younger patients (10-35 years) at 87.8% compared to older patients (36-60 years) at 52.7% (p=0.003).
