AB  - The mitral valve stenosis is the most frequently valvuloplasty in pregnant 
      patients. When it carries a significant risk of mortality for both mother and 
      fetus, it can be performed a surgical commissurotomy, with a high risk for the 
      fetus. We report our experience in percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty (PMV) in 3 
      patients during the third trimester of pregnancy with severe mitral stenosis. In 
      this cases, we performed PMV in NYHA (New York Heart Association) CF III patients 
      refractory to medical treatment. We used the transseptal double balloon technique 
      protecting the abdominal wall using a lead apron. The mitral areas increased from 
      1 to 2 cm2, without a significant development of mitral regurgitation. In all 
      cases, the infants delivered at term without complications and with normal 
      weight. The PMV arise like an ideal intervention for the treatment of mitral 
      stenosis during pregnancy.
