Does percutaneous transseptal mitral valvotomy improve procedural success in patients with mitral stenosis?
Percutaneous transseptal mitral valvotomy is a feasible procedure with high success rates and low risk in selected patients with mitral stenosis.
McCredie et al. (1990) conducted an observational in Mitral stenosis (n=13). Percutaneous transseptal mitral valvotomy was evaluated on Procedure success rate. Percutaneous transseptal mitral valvotomy in 13 patients with mitral stenosis achieved a 93% procedure success rate and a 100% patient success rate with low risk of complications.
