Abstract:
The case describes the successful percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty under neuroprotection in a patient with severe symptomatic mitral stenosis and persistent left atrial appendage thrombus despite chronic warfarin therapy. Although the procedure was uneventful for any systemic embolism, the limitations of this approach are highlighted with authors still advocating that surgery remains the benchmark treatment for these patients. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
