Long-Term Results of Mitral Balloon Valvuloplasty

With great interest, we read the article ‘‘Long-Term Results up to 19 Years of Mitral Balloon Valvuloplasty’’ by Fawzy. Several previous studies have reported longterm outcome data following percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty in patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the longest periods of follow-up after percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty reported to date. The salient point highlighted by the author was the excellent long-term outcome in patients with favorable mitral valve morphology, although those with less favorable morphology may still benefit from acceptable hemodynamic and symptomatic relief.
