Percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty in severe mitral stenosis during pregnancy comparing Inoue versus multitrack balloons: comparative study between Inoue and multitrack balloon mitral valvuloplasty in pregnant females with severe mitral stenosis




Objectives


We sought to compare the maternal and fetal outcomes of patients with severe mitral stenosis submitted to percutaneous balloon dilation using Inoue vs. multitrack balloons during pregnancy.




Background


Heart failure in patients with mitral stenosis complicating pregnancy is a common problem in developing countries. Since 1982, percutaneous dilation of the mitral valve using a balloon catheter has become a therapeutic alternative to open or closed heart surgery. Although the efficacy of percutaneous mitral valve balloon dilation is well established with the Inoue balloon, its comparison with multitrack balloon during pregnancy is needed.
