Does mitral valvotomy improve outcomes in children with mitral stenosis?
Closed transventricular instrumental mitral valvotomy is effective in children with mitral stenosis, leading to regression of pulmonary hypertension, provided the valve is not calcified and there is no significant mitral regurgitation.
Gotsman et al. (1973) conducted an observational in Mitral stenosis (n=72). Closed transventricular instrumental mitral valvotomy was evaluated on Surgical results and regression of pulmonary arterial hypertension. Closed transventricular instrumental valvotomy achieved excellent results and regression of severe pulmonary arterial hypertension in children with mitral stenosis.
