The affection of percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty on pregnancy women with rheumatic mitral stenosis
Abstract：Objective To investigate the safety and feasibility of percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PBMV)on pregnancy women with rheumatic mitral stenosis with mitral stenosis and effect subsequent pregnancy on cardiac function. Methods PBMV was made in 33 pregnancy women (mean age 27.4 years) admitted in our hospital since October 1988 to January 2015, whose clinical and echo cardiographic evaluation were obtained with a follow-up of 1.5-6.0 years. Results The procedure was successful in all 33 pregnancy women, with no severe complication. There was significant difference in left atrial mean pressure, mitral valve pressure gradient and mitral valve area after the procedure. All pregnancy women had normal vaginal deliveries. The children had normal grown and development with the Apgar score of 9-10. No significant change was observed in all echocardiography param-eters and no heart failure before pregnancy and after delivery. Conclusion In pregnancy women with symptomatic mitral stenosis, PBMV is feasible, safe and effective.
