Case-level data suggest hemodynamic relief with double-balloon CBV in rheumatic MS; leaves open efficacy, durability, and safety in prospective trials.
Does catheter balloon valvuloplasty using a double-balloon technique improve hemodynamics in symptomatic adults with rheumatic mitral valve stenosis?
Catheter balloon valvuloplasty using a double-balloon technique effectively relieves mitral valve obstruction and improves hemodynamics in adults with symptomatic rheumatic mitral stenosis.
