Clinical and echocardiographic predictors independent of restenosis after valvuloplasty percutaneous mitral valve balloon after follow-up up to 24 years old
INTRODUÇÃO: A estenose da válvula mitral (EM) é uma das doenças cardíacas estruturais mais comuns nos países em desenvolvimento, principalmente devido à doença reumática. A valvoplastia mitral percutânea por balão (VMPB) tem sido, desde sua introdução em 1984, a opção preferencial de trat...
AIMS: the objective of this study was to enlight risk factors of mitral valvular restenosis in a significant number of patients submitted to percutaneous mitral balloon commissurotomy for the treatment of mitral stenosis (ms), particularly when secondary to rheumatic heart disease. METHODS AND RESULTS: t...
AIMS: Percutaneous balloon mitral commissurotomy (PMBC) is an attractive therapeutic approach in patients with mitral stenosis. The aim of this study was to assess the immediate and long-term clinical, echocardiographic and haemodynamic outcomes of PMBC in patients with severe pulmonary hypertension (PH)...
BACKGROUND Mitral valve stenosis is one of the most common structural heart diseases in developing countries and is primarily due to rheumatic disease. Percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (PMBV) has been, since its introduction in 1984, the preferred treat ment. However, restenosis presents with an...
