Rescue percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty for iatrogenic critical mitral stenosis after open mitral valve repair for rheumatic mitral regurgitation

摘要

Mitral valve repair is a feasible option in rheumatic heart disease with reasonable long-term results.1,2 Early mitral stenosis is a very rare complication of mitral valve repair. Percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PBMV) can serve as a bailout procedure if reoperation is a very high risk. Here, we report a patient who underwent successful PBMV due to iatrogenic critical mitral stenosis.
