SummaryObjective: To analyze the long term evolution of patients undergoing percutaneous balloon mitral valvoplasty comparing the Inoue and Balt single balloon methods, and to identify predictors of death and major events (death, repeat balloon mitral valvoplasty or mitral valve surgery). Methods

Percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy is an effective procedure, and over 2/3 of the patients were event-free at the end of follow-up. Survival in the group was high, even higher in the group with lower echocardiographic scores.
