Temporal trends in percutaneous mitral commissurotomy over a 15-year period

Abstract: Over this 15-year period, candidates for PMC became older and had a less favourable anatomy, but underwent PMC at an earlier functional stage. The stability of the results, despite the less favourable characteristics, may be related to the role of experience in improving the technique and patient selection.

“…Of the 112 patients with poor immediate results, 80 underwent early mitral surgery with a median duration of 1 month after PMC (interquartile range [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Of the 32 nonoperated patients, 22 died (Table 2).…”

“…With growing experience, indications of PMC have been progressively widened to include less favorable conditions. [2][3][4] The ability to predict individual patient outcome is therefore of importance in clinical practice. A number of series have reported late results after PMC.…”

“…7 Although increases in mitral valve area after PMV are largely the result of separation of the mitral leaflets along the natural planes of their commissures, 8 -11 many additional mechanisms have been reported to contribute to the development of significant MR after PMV, including excessive commissural split and disruption of chordal or valvular anatomy. 12 In addition, clinical tolerance to immediately produced significant MR is variable, and although some patients require emergency surgery, others do not need it, and a few may even have a decrease in the severity of MR over time.…”
