Summary: | Balloon Mitral valvotomy in Juvenile mitral stenosis has its own limitation due to underlying unsuitable anatomy of the mitral valve with more of subvalvular fusion and thus result in unsatisfactory outcomes. [...]dedicated hardware for the size of this age group is not widely available. Majority of patients had single balloon dilatation of stenotic mitral valve, while 11% had serial balloon dilatations with upsizing, for unyielding valve morphology.9.1% of patient developed acute mitral regurgitation and out of this 1.5% had severe mitral regurgitation warranting emergency mitral valve replacement. |
