Percutaneous balloon mitral valvoplasty (PBMV) has become the treatment of choice for severe pliable rheumatic mitral stenosis. The multi-track system is a recent variation of the double-balloon technique and is easier owing to the use of a monorail balloon and a simple, single-guidewire approach. In the present study, we used the double-coil Inoue metal wire with a multi-track balloon instead of the conventional multi-track wire. We studied 62 consecutive patients (55 females) with significant symptomatic rheumatic mitral valve stenosis who underwent multi-track PBMV. Patients were randomized into 2 groups: the first group included 32 patients treated with the novel multi-track technique using the double-coil Inoue metal wire, and the second group included 30 patients treated with the conventional multi-track technique using a balloon endhole catheter and multi-track 0.035 inch stiff wire. None of the patients had cardiac tamponade, systemic thromboembolism, or any groin complications. No statistically significant differences were found between the 2 groups regarding any of the studied variables. There were no in-hospital deaths or complications necessitating emergent cardiac surgery in either group. In conclusion, this new technique with the double-coil Inoue metal wire achieves the double benefit of being as safe as (and indeed easier than) the conventional technique, and it utilizes fewer materials, making the multi-track system more cost-effective.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008946 Mitral Valve Stenosis Narrowing of the passage through the MITRAL VALVE due to FIBROSIS, and CALCINOSIS in the leaflets and chordal areas. This elevates the left atrial pressure which, in turn, raises pulmonary venous and capillary pressure leading to bouts of DYSPNEA and TACHYCARDIA during physical exertion. RHEUMATIC FEVER is its primary cause.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
