Why the study?
Does double transseptal, double-balloon valvuloplasty improve hemodynamics in patients with severe congenital mitral stenosis?
Does double transseptal, double-balloon valvuloplasty improve hemodynamics in patients with severe congenital mitral stenosis?
Double transseptal, double-balloon valvuloplasty is an effective treatment for congenital mitral stenosis, significantly reducing mitral gradients with a low risk of significant mitral regurgitation.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May reduce gradients in congenital mitral stenosis; single-case observation leaves open need for prospective validation.
Grifka et al. (1992) studied this question.
