==Percutaneous Mitral Commissurotomy==
====Patient selection====
#Mitral stenosis due to rheumatic disease is becoming less common in the US but is very prevalent worldwide
#Symptoms of shortness of breath and valve area or less than 1.5 cm2 are indications for commissurotomy
#Unlike with the surgical approach, elevated pulmonary pressures or depressued LV function are not contraindications
#Wilkins score that describes valve anatomy is the best predictor of procedural success: it assigns points for leaflet mobility, valvular and subvulvular thickening and calcification degree (score of < 8 makes the patient a favorable candidate); Thus good quality echocardiogram is essential before qualifying the patient for the procedure
#Contraindications include presence of left atrial appendage clot, moderate to severe mitral regurgitation or other indications for open heart surgery
 
====Technique====
#Transvenous transeptal technique is most commonly used with the Inoue balloon system
#Fossa ovalis lies usually at 1-7 o’clock but this orientation can be distorted in the presence of mitral stenosis where the interatrial septum becomes more flat, horizontal and lower
#For the femoral vein approach a 70 cm Brockenbrough needle should be used or an 8 Fr Mullins sheath and advanced under fluoroscopic guidance with pressure monitoring
#The latter is necessary to monitor for puncture into adjacent structures such as aorta
#Further catheter manipulation may be necessary to direct the catheter into the left ventricle through the mitral valve rather than towards one of the pulmonary veins
#Mullins sheath is exchanged for a solid-core coiled 0.025 inch guidewire over which a 14 Fr dilator is placed
#This is exchanged for the Inoue balloon (24-30 mm) which inflates in three stages allowing for balloon self-positioning with the last inflation resulting in commisural splitting
 
====Outcomes====
#Results of the commisurotomy should be assessed with hemodynamics and echocardiography
#If second inflation is needed mitral regurgitation should be assessed
#In general increasing valve area to greater than 1 cm2/m2 is an acceptable result
#Usually the valve area doubles and the pulmonary pressures degrease immediately
#5 year survival is in the 90% range
 
====Complications====
#Usually less than 5% with low mortality
#Failure to puncture the interatrial septum is the most common reason for aborted procedure
#Most common complication is development of severe mitral regurgitation
