Implication

May warrant caution in older patients at lower-volume centers during balloon mitral valvuloplasty; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective confirmation.

Structured PICO

What are the mechanisms and risk factors for cardiac perforation leading to tamponade in patients undergoing balloon mitral valvuloplasty?

P
Population
903 patients undergoing balloon mitral valvuloplasty at a single center, including 10 cases of cardiac tamponade due to cardiac perforation.
I
Intervention
Balloon mitral valvuloplasty
O
Outcome
Mechanisms and sites of cardiac perforation leading to tamponadesafety

Identifying specific procedural mechanisms and risk factors (older age, less center experience) for cardiac perforation during balloon mitral valvuloplasty can inform strategies to prevent this life-threatening complication.
