High success rate of repeat percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty (PMV) in patients with recurrent mitral valve stenosis following previous PMV




Background


Symptomatic recurrent mitral valve stenosis developed in 4% to 39% of patients after percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty (PMV). It is not known if these patients may benefit from repeat PMV. This study assesses the immediate and early outcomes of redo PMV in patients with recurrent mitral valve stenosis after prior PMV.




Materials and methods


From July 1996 to September 2005, we reviewed a total of 54 patients (mean age 38±8.2 years, 40 women and 14 men) who underwent a second PMV for symptomatic restenosis with mitral valve area (MVA) <1.5 cm 2 after a previous PMV. Repeat PMV was performed at 3.8±2.4 years after the initial PMV.
