Supports Accura balloon use in mitral stenosis; leaves open need for randomized comparisons to alternatives.
Khànal et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Mitral valve stenosis (n=62). Balloon mitral valvotomy with the Accura double-lumen balloon catheter was evaluated on Procedural success defined as an increase in mitral valve area (MVA) ≥50% from basal valve area or final valve area of ≥1.5 cm2, in the absence of mitral regurgitation grade >2. Balloon mitral valvotomy using the double-lumen Accura balloon achieved a procedural success rate of 96.7% in patients with mitral valve stenosis, with no deaths or restenosis at one year.
