Pillai et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Mitral stenosis with significant sub valve disease and severe decompensated heart failure in pregnancy (n=96). Balloon mitral valvuloplasty (BMV) vs. Failed BMV was evaluated on Successful obstetric outcome (p=<0.001). Successful balloon mitral valvuloplasty in pregnant patients with mitral stenosis and severe heart failure yielded a 92% successful obstetric outcome vs 57% in failed procedures (P<0.001).
