Abstract

Objectives: Percutaneous Trans-Mitral Commissurotomy (PTMC) is an effective non-surgical treatment in patients with severe rheumatic mitral valve stenosis. This study aimed to evaluate the mid-term results of this procedure in central Iran.
 
Methods: This retrospective study was performed on 101 patients with severe mitral valve stenosis who underwent successful PTMC from March 2011 to September 2018 in Afshar Hospital in Yazd. At follow-up, all patients underwent clinical examination, two-dimensional and color Doppler echocardiography, and events were recorded. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 19.
 
Results: The mean age of the patients was 44.79± 11.72 years, and 83.3% were female. The mean follow-up time was 38.98 23.33 months (6-94 months).25.8% had AF rhythm, and 12% had previous PTMC or OMVC or CMVC. After percutaneous Trans-Mitral Commissurotomy, 97% of patients were in NYHA functional class I, II and the mitral valve area (MVA) increased from 0.92 ± 0.18 to 1.66± 0.29 cm2 (p<0.0001). Pulmonary artery systolic pressure decreased from 46.96± 18.56 mmHg to 38.43±14.02 mmHg (p<0.0001). The Mean mitral valve gradient decreased from 12.37± 3.99 mmHg to 4.79± 2.38 mmHg (p<0.0001). Restenosis rate and severe mitral regurgitation resulting in mitral valve replacement (MVR) were 10.9% and 2%, respectively. Two patients died because of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). During the follow-up event, free survival was 82.2%. Multivariable analysis revealed that the predictors of shorter event-free survival were AF rhythm (HR; 4.5, 95%CI;1.59-12.9, P=0.005) and post PTMC higher NYHA functional class (HR;2.2, CI;1-4.8,p=0.049).
 
Conclusions: Mid-term results of percutaneous transmitral commissurotomy (PTMC) in central Iran are the same as in other parts of the world. This procedure is an effective and low-risk treatment for severe mitral valve stenosis.
