ABSTRACT

Percutaneous balloon mitral valvotomy has become the first choice option for the treatment of mitral stenosis. Any patient with the disease is a candidate for the procedure. However there are patient’s subgroups which the procedure success will reach a 100% accordingly to a meticulous selection of the cases. Long-term results has been excellent and may be compared with those of surgical closed mitral commissurotomy. We report our long-term follow-up experience of 127 patients followed during a mean of five years in which results have been very favorable.
