Acute haemodynamic results showed fall of left atrial pressure from 25.27+ 5.2 to 10.22 + 4.7 mmHg, mitral valve gradient decreased from 19.5 + 4 to 7.22+ 3.6mmHg, pulmonary artery pressure fell from 57.85 + 8 to 41.7 + 9 mmHg. The result are comparable to other international reports, complications rate was similar to other major studies. PTMC is a safe and effective tool to dilate selected stenosed mitral valve. ER -
