Abstract
None:
A 34-year-old man was referred for percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy (PTMC); he had undergone 2 PTMC attempts at another institute, but both attempts failed because of inability to cross the mitral valve with the balloon. We present an alternative reverse-loop technique for PTMC in patients with large left atrium.
