Implication

Supports PTMC durability in pliable valves; extends observational data but leaves randomized comparisons open.

Structured PICO

Population

68 consecutive patients undergoing successful percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy (mitral valve area > 1.5 cm2 without major complications) in 1987, mean age 52 +/- 11 years, 81% female.

Intervention

Percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy (PTMC) using the Inoue balloon

Outcome

Actuarial survival rate and event-free (death, mitral valve replacement, and repeat PTMC) survival rate at 1, 5, and 10 yearscomposite

Successful percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy provides favorable long-term outcomes up to 10 years, particularly in patients with pliable or semipliable valves.
