Balão único versus balão de Inoue na valvoplastia mitral percutânea por balão. Resultados imediatos e complicações

Influence of the echocardiographic score and not of the previous surgical mitral commissurotomy on the outcome of percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty

“…We use the double balloon technique less frequently. The literature shows in general similar results with these techniques [3][4][5][6][7][8] .…”

“…Aurora et al 22 showed that the size of the balloon, the degree of compromise of the subvalvar apparel, or the gravity of the mitral stenosis is not related to the appearance of mitral regurgitation. In spite of the high effective balloon dilation area that we used along with our experience, our incidence of significant mitral regurgitation was low [2][3][4][5] .…”

“…We began percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty in 1987 using a single balloon, and soon after we used the double balloon technique, Inoue's balloon technique, and the low profile single balloon technique [2][3][4][5] .…”

“…We have been using the Inoue balloon and single balloon techniques above all others [2][3][4][5] . We use the double balloon technique less frequently.…”

“…Also in 1986, in Saudi Arabia, Al Zaibag et al 4 , began using the double balloon technique with a transseptal approach. In Brazil, the dilation is described in 1987, with a retrograde approach 5,6 and a transseptal approach [7][8][9] .…”
