Life-saving PTMC for critical calcific mitral stenosis in cardiogenic shock with balloon impasse

Abstract: A 32-year-old male patient, a case of critical calcific mitral stenosis (following closed mitral valvotomy in 1989) was admitted for mitral valve replacement in September 2001. In hospital, he developed cardiogenic shock, pulmonary oedema and oliguria precluding surgery. An emergency percutaneous transatrial balloon mitral commissurotomy as a life-saving procedure in a valve with unfavourable morphology and 'balloon impasse' is discussed.

“…Given its less invasive and less risky profile compared to open surgery, MBV could be an interesting option in patients with severe MS and CS or acute decompensated HF. Mostly case reports and small studies to date have evaluated the safety and feasibility of this hypothesis, where MBV has been shown to be safe and feasible in the acute management of CS, providing immediate hemodynamic and symptomatic improvement [ 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 ], even in patients during pregnancy [ 75 ]. More recently, given the emergence of transcatheter-delivered prosthetic mitral valves, the role of TMVR in the emergent setting seems promising as an alternative to surgery.…”
