Abstract
Successful procedure provides an immediate and long-term remarkable hemodynamic and symptomatic improvement. Consequences of successful percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty was investigated in various studies and found to include improvement of impaired LV systolic function, reduction of left atrial size, regression of significant tricuspid regurgitation, and regression of severe pulmonary hypertension.
Nevertheless, balloon valvuloplasty can have serious complications. Most of the adverse complications occur during the procedure. (i.e. during the process of interatrial septum puncture, manipulation of the balloon catheter in the left atrium, and commissurotomy of the mitral valve by the balloon catheter).
Early markers of outcome other than symptoms and LV dysfunction are needed because the clinical or echocardiographic findings are often observed after something serious has happened. Consequently, they are associated with poor outcome.
