Deskripsi

Transfemoral balloon mitral valvotomy (BMV) is the standard treatment of severe symptomatic rheumatic mitral stenosis. However, in subjects with anatomic distortions, transfemoral BMV is difficult. We are presenting a case of severe rheumatic mitral stenosis who had a successful transjugular BMV using standard femoral hardware and Inoue balloon.
