Mitral regurgitation after percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty in adults: Evaluation by pulsed doppler echocardiography

Percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty is a new technique used in the treatment of adult patients with mitral stenosis. To evaluate the occurrence and severity of mitral regurgitation after balloon valvuloplasty, 24 patients (20 women and 4 men, mean age 57 years) were studied using two-dimension...
