Summary

Percutaneous mitral valvulotomy (PMV) using the Inoue mono-balloon technique effectively dilated mitral stenosis in 29 patients. This safe and efficient procedure significantly increased mitral valve area with minimal complications.

Context:

Mitral stenosis is a significant valvular heart disease.
Percutaneous mitral valvulotomy (PMV) offers a less invasive treatment option.
The Inoue mono-balloon technique is a specific method for PMV.

Purpose:

To evaluate the initial experience and efficacy of PMV using the Inoue mono-balloon technique.
To assess the safety and outcomes of this procedure in patients with mitral stenosis.

Summary:

29 patients with mitral stenosis underwent PMV with the Inoue mono-balloon.
The procedure successfully dilated the mitral valve in 28 patients.
Significant increases in mitral valve area were observed (p < 0.001).

Complications were minimal, with only one patient experiencing inadequate balloon positioning and one with a minor increase in mitral regurgitation.

Impact:

PMV with the Inoue mono-balloon is a safe and effective treatment for mitral stenosis.
The technique leads to significant improvement in mitral valve area.
This approach offers a valuable alternative to surgical intervention for selected patients.
