Abstract

Mitral Stenosis is one of the commonest long-term complications of rheumatic fever and afflicts many females at a relatively young age, with implications for treatment strategies. We present a study of one hundred and fifty seven consecutive cases of significant mitral stenosis treated with lnoue Balloon technique at Mayo Hospital with hemodynamic and clinical improvement. The age range was 12-60 years. Percutaneous Transvenous Mitral Commissurotomy (PTMC) was successful in 90% of patients, as measured by immediate hemodynamic parameters, including reduction in Left Atrial pressure 1. The advantages of the procedure were shorter hospital stay, absence of significant scar marks, better patient acceptability and sustained clinical improvement during follow up.
