Does catheter balloon valvuloplasty using a double-balloon technique improve hemodynamics and symptoms in symptomatic adults with rheumatic mitral valve stenosis?

Population

12 symptomatic adult patients with rheumatic mitral valve stenosis, mean age 43 years.

Intervention

Catheter balloon valvuloplasty (CBV) using a double-balloon technique

Outcome

Hemodynamic changes including mean mitral valve gradient, mean left atrial pressure, cardiac output, and mitral valve areasurrogate

Catheter balloon valvuloplasty using a double-balloon technique effectively improves hemodynamics and symptoms in adults with rheumatic mitral stenosis.
