TI  - Long-term results of percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty for mitral 
      stenosis: a follow-up study to 11 years in 202 patients.
PG  - 132-9
AB  - We studied the first 202 patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) who 
      underwent percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PBMV) with the Inoue balloon 
      catheter for a follow-up (FU) period of 5-11 years. Pre- and post-PBMV and at FU, 
      the mean left atrial pressure was 21.3+/-7.4, 10.2+/-5.6, and 11.2+/-4.1 mm Hg; 
      mean diastolic mitral gradient was 18.4+/-7.3, 2.9+/-3.2, and 5.1+/-4.3 mm Hg; 
      and mitral valve area was 1.0+/-0.3, 2.1+/-0.6, and 1.7+/-0.5 cm2. Functional 
      status improved from New York Heart Association (NYHA) class IV in 3, class III 
      in 119, and class II in 80 pre-PBMV to class I in 163, class II in 37, and class 
      III in 2 post-PBMV, and was class I in 146, class II in 39, and class III in 17 
      patients at FU. In the 17 patients with NYHA class III at FU, mitral restenosis 
      was the culprit; 4 underwent repeat PBMV, 12 had mitral valve replacement for 
      severe mitral calcification and subvalvular fusion, and 1 refused further 
      intervention. Thus PBMV using the Inoue balloon catheter is an effective method 
      of relieving MS with excellent long-term results in patients without severe 
      mitral calcification and subvalvular fusion.
