What is transcatheter balloon mitral valvuloplasty? How is it done, what are its complications, and who is it suitable for? Transcatheter balloon mitral valvuloplasty is similar to transcatheter aortic valvuloplasty except that the balloon catheter is inserted into a vein in the upper thigh (instead of an artery) and then reaches the right side of the heart. The catheter passes from the right atrium to the left atrium through the wall that connects them, then through the mitral valve where the balloon is inflated to widen the narrow valve opening. What happens after this procedure? Of course, there are some risks as is the case with all heart surgeries. However, the results of this procedure may be immediate, such as complete relief of some symptoms such as shortness of breath. The hospital stay and recovery period is also much shorter, usually a few days, compared to open heart surgery. https://yasserelnahas.org/balloon-val...
