Abstract

Echocardiographic data were analyzed in 555 patients undergoing mitral balloon commissurotomy (MBC). Patients were enrolled in the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Balloon Valvuloplasty Registry from 24 centers. There were 456 women and 99 men with a mean age of 54 years. Before MBC the two-dimensional echocardiographic variables of mitral valve thickness, mobility, calcification, and subvalvular disease were evaluated and assigned scores of 1 to 4. The mitral valve morphology score was related to mitral valve area (MVA) measured after MBC by cardiac catheterization. The leaflet mobility score was related to the immediate post-MBC MVA: 2.2 +/- 0.8 cm2 for grade 1, 1.9 +/- 0.7 cm2 fo..
