Key result
Percutaneous transmitral commissurotomy was successful in 95.16% of patients, significantly increasing mean mitral valve area from 0.68 cm2 to 1.53 cm2 and reducing mean transmitral gradient.

Does percutaneous transmitral commissurotomy (PTMC) improve hemodynamics and have a high procedural success rate in patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis?
Absolute Event Rate: 1.533% vs 0.684%
p-value: p=0.0001
PTMC is a safe and highly successful procedure for rheumatic mitral stenosis, significantly improving valve area and hemodynamics with low complication rates.
Ali et al. (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in Mitral stenosis (n=124). Percutaneous Transmitral Commissurotomy (PTMC) vs. Pre-procedure baseline was evaluated on Mitral valve area (cm2) (p=0.0001). Percutaneous transmitral commissurotomy was successful in 95.16% of patients, significantly increasing mean mitral valve area from 0.68 cm2 to 1.53 cm2 and reducing mean transmitral gradient.
