AI Article Synopsis
- Mitral valve repair in patients with rheumatic heart disease can lead to good long-term outcomes.
- There is limited information on the occurrence of mitral stenosis after repairing severe mitral regurgitation in this population.
- The report highlights a successful case of a procedure called percutaneous transluminal mitral valvuloplasty to treat severe mitral stenosis after valve repair.
Article Abstract
MV repair in the rheumatic population is feasible with acceptable long-term results. Incidence of mitral stenosis (MS) following mitral valve (MV) repair for severe rheumatic mitral regurgitation (MR) and usefulness of percutaneous transluminal mitral valvuloplasty (PTMC) in these patients is not described in literature. We report a case of successful PTMC in severe MS following MV repair for severe rheumatic MR.
