  • Title: [Mitral valvuloplasty with balloon catheterization in pregnant patients. Report of 3 cases].
    Author: Mangione JA, Arie S, de Oliveira SA, Alvarez GE, Salman AA, Zuliani MF, Baquero MA, Del Castilho JM, Pillegi FJ.
    Journal: Arq Bras Cardiol; 1989 Feb; 52(2):99-101. PubMed ID: 2596996.
    Abstract:
    The authors report on three pregnant patients with mitral stenosis with heart failure in functional class IV (NYHA) unresponsive to clinical treatment. They were submitted to mitral valvuloplasty, with significant clinical improvement, and were, hence, asymptomatic. Despite the small number of cases, it may be concluded that the procedure is simple and safe, which can be attested by the successful results.
