Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
From December 1994 to May 1999, 487 patients underwent percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy according to the Inoue balloon technique for tight mitral stenosis. In three cases, the Inoue balloon technique was not possible because the catheter balloon could not enter the mitral orifice and the double-balloon technique was performed instead. In two cases, a flow-guided balloon catheter met the mitral orifice and the double-balloon technique was effective. In the third case, passing the valve with a flow balloon catheter was impossible, a 0.032" Terumo straight wire crossed the valve, which was dilated with a single balloon the first time and a double balloon the second time. The mitral valve area increased in the three cases from 0.8 to 1.8 cm2, from 0.7 to 1.6 cm2, and from 0.5 to 1.5 cm2, respectively. There were no complications. |
