Overview
The development of this approach was done by Inoue in 1984 and Lock in 1985 for the treatment of mitral stenosis.[1][2] For a long time, surgical commissurotomy and open valve replacement were the only methods by which mitral stenosis could be corrected.[3] PMBV can be performed in chronically symptomatic patients, patients who present emergently with cardiac arrest or pulmonary edema and in asymptomatic patients who plan on childbearing or major noncardiac surgery.[4][5] There is improvement in the mortality rates for mitral stenosis by intervention by percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy or surgery. Mitral valvuloplasty is a minimally invasive therapeutic procedure to correct an uncomplicated mitral stenosis by dilating the valve using a balloon. Under local anaesthetic, a catheter with a special balloon is passed from the right femoral vein, up the inferior vena cava and into the right atrium. The interatrial septum is punctured and the catheter passed into the left atrium using a "trans-septal technique". The balloon is sub-divided into 3 segments and is dilated in 3 stages. 1st the distal portion (lying in the left ventricle) is inflated and pulled against the valve cusps. Second the proximal portion is dilated, in order to fix the centre segment at the valve orifice. Finally the central section is inflated. This should take no longer than 30 seconds since full inflation obstructs the valve and causes congestion, leading to circulatory arrest and flash pulmonary edema.
Percutaneous Mitral Balloon Valvotomy (PMBV)
- PMBV is currently the standard of care in patients with severe rheumatic mitral stenosis and favorable valve anatomy.
- PMBV is preferred to open surgery in symptomatic moderate to severe MS, MVA≤ 1.5 cm², NYHA functional class 2-4, favorable valve anatomy, lack of commisural calcification, no or mild mitral regurgitation, and no left atrium thrombosis. [6]

Indications
- Making decision on the type of treatment (PMC or surgery), as well as its timing, is based on clinical characteristics, anatomy of valve and subvalvular apparatus, and local expertise.
- Intervention is indicated in patients with moderate-to-severe rheumatic mitral stenosis (valve area ≤1.5 cm2) in whom PMC has had a significant impact on its management.
- In Western countries, the incidence of rheumatic fever and number of PMC is low. Howerer, over the years PBMV has been as a mainstream therapy, especially in developing countries with endemic rheumatic heart disease.[8][9]
- Indications for PMBV have expanded to involve less suitable conditions including suboptimal valve anatomy and also palliative therapy in elderly patients who are poor surgical candidates.
- The cost of intervention is lower than mitral valve replacement surgery.
- To determine which patients would benefit from Percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy (PMBV), a scoring system has been developed. Scoring is based on four echocardiographic criteria:
- Leaflet mobility
- Leaflet thickening
- Subvalvar thickening
- Calcification
Individuals with a score of ≥ 8 tended to have suboptimal results. Superb results with valvotomy are seen in individuals with a crisp opening snap, score < 8, and no calcium in the commissures.
Contraindications for percutaneous mitral commissurotomy in rheumatic mitral stenosis
- MVA >1.5 cm²
- Left atrial thrombus
- More than mild mitral regurgitation
- Severe or bi-commissural calcification
- Absence of commissural fusion
- Severe concomitant aortic valve disease, or severe combined tricuspid stenosis and tricuspid regurgitation requiring surgery
- Concomitant coronary artery disease requiring bypass surgery
Technique
The interventional cardiologist gains access to the mitral valve by making a puncture in the interatrial septum during cardiac catheterization. Inflation and rapid deflation of a single balloon or a double-balloon opens the stenotic valve. This mechanism is similar to that of surgical commissurotomy.[10]
- 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.
- The 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 commissural splitting.
A transthoracic echocardiography should be done to measure the mitral valve area and assess the severity of regurgitation as a complication of the procedure. PMBV should be stopped if adequate valve area has been achieved or if the severity of mitral regurgitation has been increased.
Outcome
- Long-term follow-up has been shown an initial good result and free of recurrent symptoms in 70% to 80% of patients after PMBC at 10 years, and 30% to 40% are free of recurrent symptoms at 20 years.[11]
Complications
- Failure to puncture the interatrial septum
- Development of severe mitral regurgitation[9]
- Usually less than 5% with low mortality
