Does percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy improve mitral valve area and left atrial pressure in patients with juvenile mitral stenosis?
Percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy is a safe and effective procedure that significantly improves mitral valve area and left atrial pressure in juvenile mitral stenosis.
Adhikari et al. (2016) conducted an observational in Juvenile mitral stenosis (n=131). Percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy (PTMC) was evaluated on Successful results. Percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy in juvenile mitral stenosis yielded successful results in 87.7% of patients, increasing mean mitral valve area from 0.8 to 1.6 cm2.
