Hemodynamic study being examined through Swan-Ganz catheter and echocardiography after PTMC and PTAV showed marked releaf from these two valvular stenosis. We consider that although this new treatment can't exceed surgical commissurotomy in an effect, it can be applied to those who are thought to be riskfull for the surgical intervention because of its inherent characteristics being simple and less invasive.
