Percutaneous transseptal mitral valvuloplasty in the presence of atrial septal aneurysm

Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn. 1994 Apr;31(4):337-40. doi: 10.1002/ccd.1810310418.

Abstract

We demonstrate the feasibility and efficacy of Inoue balloon valvuloplasty in two patients with the rare combination of mitral stenosis and atrial septal aneurysm. Following the procedure, the mitral valve area increased from 1.3 cm2 to 2.7 cm2 and 1.2 cm2 to 2.6 cm2, respectively, with no major complications encountered.
