TI  - Percutaneous transvenous balloon mitral valvuloplasty: mid-term results in 
      adolescents.
PG  - 341-8
AB  - Six patients with mitral valve stenosis underwent percutaneous balloon mitral 
      valvuloplasty (PBMV) in our department between November 1992 and December 1997. 
      Five patients had rheumatic mitral valve stenosis and one had congenital mitral 
      valve stenosis and Eisenmenger's syndrome with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). 
      Functional status before PBMV was class IV in two patients, class III in two 
      patients, and class II-III in two patients, as classified by the New York Heart 
      Association (NYHA). The mean diastolic pressure gradient across the mitral valve 
      measured during heart catheterization before and immediately after PBMV was 18.8 
      +/- 10.42 and 9.4 +/- 7.7 mmHg, respectively (p < 0.01). The patients were 
      followed for a mean period of 36.6 +/- 8.5 months (range 12 to 72 months) after 
      the procedure. During follow-up, post PBMV mean diastolic transmitral gradient 
      measured by color Doppler echocardiography decreased from 19.3 +/- 11.16 to 7.43 
      +/- 7.3 mmHg (p < 0.01) and the mitral valve area increased from 1.09 +/- 0.7 to 
      3.1 +/- 0.9 cm2 (p < 0.002). Functional capacity showed improvement to NYHA class 
      I in four patients, to class II-III in the patient with congenital mitral valve 
      stenosis and Eisenmenger's syndrome with PDA and to class II in one patient with 
      severe mitral valve calcification in whom restenosis occurred three years after 
      PBMV. Percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty PBMV can achieve very good short- 
      and mid-term results in relieving symptomatic rheumatic mitral valve stenosis.
