Key result
Percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty significantly increased mitral valve area from 0.9 to 2.0 cm2 (p<0.0001), with more effective dilation in patients with lower echocardiographic scores.

Does percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty using the double balloon technique improve hemodynamic parameters in patients with mitral stenosis?
Absolute Event Rate: 2% vs 0.9%
p-value: p=<0.0001
Percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty using the double balloon technique provides immediate and significant improvements in mitral valve area and hemodynamics, with better outcomes in younger patients with lower echocardiographic scores.
Park et al. (1991) conducted an observational in Mitral stenosis (n=118). Percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty using the double balloon technique vs. Pre-procedure baseline was evaluated on Mitral valve area (MVA) (p=<0.0001). Percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty significantly increased mitral valve area from 0.9 to 2.0 cm2 (p<0.0001), with more effective dilation in patients with lower echocardiographic scores.
