Abstract:
MV repair in the rheumatic population is feasible with acceptable long-term results.1 Incidence of mitral stenosis (MS) following mitral valve (MV) repair for severe rheumatic mitral regurgitation (MR) and usefulness of percutaneous transluminal mitral valvuloplasty (PTMC) in these patients is not described in literature. We report a case of successful PTMC in severe MS following MV repair for severe rheumatic MR.
