“…Four years after percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy, 79·2% of patients were still in NYHA class I or II, and in 70·8% the improvement in NYHA class had been maintained compared to that pre-percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy. This is comparable to data from others [6][7][8]10,17] . In addition, the improvement in mitral valve area continued during follow-up.…”

“…After 4 years, the decrease in mitral valve area had reached a clinically insignificant 1·8 cm 2 , from 2·0 cm 2 immediately after percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy. This is the same change as that found by Chen et al, who had a follow-up period of 5 years [7] . Another report from these authors [11] described a decrease in mitral valve area from 2·0 cm 2 immediately after percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy to 1·7 cm 2 after 8 years' follow-up.…”

“…4,23,[34][35][36] Studies that reported a low restenosis rate (2-6%) were targeting a young (<40 years) population with pliable valves. 25,35,36 Such studies also reported results from a relatively short follow-up period (<12 months). In contrast, Desideri et al reported a much higher restenosis rate of 21% during the 19 months follow-up of their population (mean age: 52 years).…”

“…Significant reduction of LA size following successful mitral Valvotomy was demonstrated by several investigators (Takarada et al, 1992;Rittoo et al, 1993;Chen et al, 1992;Stefadouros et al, 1999). To demonstrate the effect of MBV on left atrial size, 205 consecutive patients (mean age 31 ± 11 years) were studied by the author (Stefadouros et al, 1999).…”
