Comparison of Immediate and Long-Term Outcome of Percutaneous Transvenous Mitral Commissurotomy in Patients Who Have and Have not Undergone Previous Surgical Commissurotomy

Abstract: This study compared the immediate and long-term outcome of percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy (PTMC) in patients who had (restenosis group, n = 9) or had not (de novo group, n = 27) previously undergone surgical mitral commissurotomy. The baseline echocardiographic score, which is an index of deformity of the mitral valve apparatus, was significantly higher in the restenosis group than in the de novo group (11 +/- 3 vs 7 +/- 2, p < 0.01), although age, left atrial diameter, and the prevalence of at… Show more

“…However, little is known concerning the long-term post-procedural outcome of the patients, especially with regard to restenosis and clinical events. Although former studies have tried to find prognostic factors in various follow-up periods, 14,[19][20][21][22][23] few studies have accomplished a prospective and repetitive follow-up for more than 5 years. 24 Population size, patient age distribution, and commissurotomy technique (single or double balloon) should also be considered for the fair assessment of these results.…”
