  • Title: Life-saving balloon mitral valvuloplasty in patient with cardiogenic shock after cardiac arrest.
    Author: Endrys J, Habashy AG, Hayat N.
    Journal: J Invasive Cardiol; 2001 Nov; 13(11):752-4. PubMed ID: 11689720.
    Abstract:
    Balloon mitral valvuloplasty is the procedure of choice in a selected group of patients with significant mitral stenosis and suitable valve morphology. Experience in patients with cardiogenic shock is very limited. We report the case of a dying patient in cardiogenic shock, with pulmonary edema and severe hepatic damage after cardiac arrest caused by mitral restenosis. The patient was successfully treated by emergency balloon mitral valvuloplasty with a good result and complete recovery.
