The results of percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty in 5 adult patients with mitral stenosis are presented. The average age was 55 years (37-72 years); 4 patients were in functional Class III and 1 in Class IV. The three oldest patients were in atrial fibrillation, and 2 of them had severe valvular and subvalvular lesions. Valvuloplasty was carried out with a "Trefoil" balloon (3 X 12 mm; effective cross sectional area at maximal inflation: 3.8 cm2). The procedure was successful in 4 patients. In the other patient, it was not possible to position the balloon across the stenotic valve. After valvuloplasty, the mean mitral gradient decreased (14 +/- 5 to 6 +/- 2 mmHg, p less than 0.05) without a significant change in cardiac index (2.9 +/- 0.5 vs 2.7 +/- 0.4 l/mn/m2; NS): this indicated an increased mitral valve surface area (1.1 +/- 0.2 to 1.8 +/- 0.05 cm2, p less than 0.05). In parallel, echocardiographic measurements of mitral valve surface area increased from 0.9 +/- 0.2 to 1.8 +/- 0.3 cm2, p less than 0.05, and Doppler pressure halt time fell from 220 +/- 50 to 116 +/- 13 ms, p less than 0.05. There were no operative complications and, in particular, no resulting angiographic mitral regurgitation. These preliminary results suggest that percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty may be a valuable alternative therapeutic procedure to surgery in selected patients.
