Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the clinical, hemodynamic characteristics and immediate outcomes of Percutaneous Balloon Mitral Valvotomy (PBMV) in low gradient severe rheumatic mitral stenosis (LGMS) with normal cardiac index.

Background: The optimal management of LGMS remains incompletely understood.

Methods: We examined 200 consecutive patients with severe rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) who underwent PBMV between January 2014 and March 2020.

Article Synopsis
  • The surgical management of critical aortic stenosis and associated heart conditions in neonates poses a complex challenge regarding the recovery of left ventricular function post-surgery.
  • In a described case, a premature neonate with critical aortic stenosis and severe mitral regurgitation underwent a series of surgeries, including pulmonary artery banding and aortic valvuloplasty, to stabilize heart function.
  • Ultimately, the staged biventricular repair led to a successful outcome, with the patient showing stable health six years after the operations.

  • Transmitral myectomy for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy can be performed through minimally invasive approaches, providing an alternative to traditional surgery methods.
  • A new technique involves a longitudinal incision in the midline of the anterior mitral leaflet, allowing for septal myectomy while maintaining easier surgical access.
  • This method simplifies the procedure by avoiding the need for detaching the anterior leaflet and eliminates the use of patch materials, which can compromise the durability of the leaflets.
