Abstract

Mitral stenosis, the commonest the sequela of rheumatic fever is still very common in our country. Previously
mitral commissurotomy was only treatment available treatment, however in the last two decades
percutaneous transeptal mitral valvuloplasty has become increasingly popular. We started percutaneous
metallic mitral commissurotomy at National Institute of Cardiovascular diseases in June 1999 and have
performed 100 cases successfully. We have found this technique safe, successful and cost effective.
