Description
Summary:•Treatment and effectiveness of BMV in low gradient severe MS is not well defined.•Only retrospective study by El Sabbagh was in older western population (>65 years)•This is first prospective study defining benefits of BMV in LG severe rheumatic MS.•Symptomatic improvement was better seen in NFLG group compared to LFLG group.•BMV should be the treatment of choice for NFLG severe rheumatic MS. Efficacy of balloon mitral valvuloplasty (BMV) in low gradient severe rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) is not very well defined. This study was undertaken to evaluate the outcomes of BMV in low gradient severe rheumatic MS. Severe MS was defined as mitral valve area
