Does Mitral Balloon Valvuloplasty during the second trimester of pregnancy safely preserve long-term obstetric outcomes and childhood development in pregnant patients with severe Mitral Stenosis?
Mitral balloon valvuloplasty during the second trimester of pregnancy in women with severe mitral stenosis is safe and associated with favorable long-term obstetric outcomes and normal childhood development.
Gulraze et al. (2013) conducted an observational in Severe Mitral Stenosis during pregnancy (n=23). Mitral Balloon Valvuloplasty was evaluated on Procedural success (improvement in NYHA class to I/II) and uneventful pregnancy course. Mitral balloon valvuloplasty was successful in 100% of pregnant patients with severe mitral stenosis, improving NYHA class to I/II with no long-term adverse effects on obstetric outcomes or childhood development.
