Implication
Supports PMV feasibility in pregnant severe mitral stenosis; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before wider adoption.

I
Intervention
Percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy (PMV)
O
Outcome
Hemodynamic changes (diastolic mitral gradient, cardiac output, mitral valve area) and clinical/pregnancy outcomessurrogate
Percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy can be a safe and effective treatment for pregnant patients with incapacitating symptoms caused by severe mitral stenosis.
