Abstract
A meaningful experience in non-surgical mitral valvuloplasty has been accumulated over the past five years. The pioneer of this non-surgical, interventional cardiologic procedure was Inoue (1). After Inoue’s report, Lock (3), Al Zaibag (4), Vahanian (8) and many other authors reported their modifications of the transvenous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (9–14). The reported results are very encouraging. At our institution the first mitral balloon valvuloplasty was performed in February 1985, using the percutaneous transarterial approach (2).
