OBJECTIVE To find various commissural morphologic predictors of immediate outcome of percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy by two and three dimensional echocardiography. METHODS Design: Cross sectional study Setting: Teratiry care hospital Participants: Symptomatic patients with severe rheumatic mitral stenosis aged more than 12 years without any contraindications for the procedure. Intervention: 2D and 3D echocardiographic evaluation of commissural morphology was done by measuring commissural thickness score, commissural fusion score, commissural calcification and intercommissural distance. End point: Predictors of successful procedure. RESULTS Sixty-five patients were screened. Ten were excluded because of (commissural calcification 5, > moderate mitral regurgitation 2, thrombus in left atrium 2 and emergency procedure in a pregnant lady 1). Fifty five patients (29 (53%) men and 26 (47%) women), mean age 30.58 ± 9.27 were studied. The procedure was successful in 47 (86%) patients. The following parameters predicted the success; lower commissural fusion score by 3D echo 1.5 (0.5 – 2.0) vs. 2.0 (0.5 -2.0); p ≤ 0.002, higher intercommissural distance by 2D echo 19.0 (12.5 – 21.5) vs. 16.5 (12.0 – 18.5); p ≤ 0.009, lesser commissural thickness score 3D echo 5.0 (0.4 – 10.2) vs. 8.8 (3.9 – 10.0); p ≤ 0.028 as well as by 2D echo 5.1 (1.7 - 9.8) vs 8.5 (4.3 - 9.7); p < 0.037. Commissural thickness score by 2D echo was the best predictor of outcome (r=0.509, P<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Comissural morphology is an important independent predictor of immediate outcome of percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy.

Objectives: To determine the frequency of Acute Mitral Regurgitation in Post Percutaneous Transvenous Mitral Commissurotomy (PTMC) patients with severe mitral stenosis (MS). Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Tabba Heart Institute, Karachi, Pakistan between September 2019 and April 2021. All patients irrespective of gender, aged between 19-80 years, and those who did not undergo PTMC were eligible to partake in the study. Patients with mitral regurgitation along with mitral stenosis, or those with clot in left atrium, or those suffering with the last stage of renal disease were excluded from the study. A predefined Proforma was used as a research instrument through which medical records of patients of PTMC are collected. The variables of the Proforma include patient’s age, name, sex, echo findings, treatment procedure, post-procedure data and complications. Results: A mean age of 40.6 ± 12.63 years was reported. 86 (81.9%) of the patients developed ‘no complications’, 15 (14.3%) of the PTMC patients suffered from ‘severe mitral regurgitation’, 2 (1.9%) had local hematoma, and one patient had a cardiac tamponade after the procedure. Only one patient died post-procedure. Post-stratification analysis showed that the majority of the female patients and 83% of the patients with no previous commissurotomy history did not have any complications. While a total of 14.7% who had no history of previous commissurotomy suffered from severe MR. Conclusion: Our study revealed that only a small number of patients who underwent PTMC suffered from severe mitral regurgitation. Overall, the procedure is safe with a good outcome.

Objectives: To determine the frequency of atrial septal defect in patients of rheumatic mitral stenosis undergoing percutaneous trans septal mitral commissurotomy. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Setting: Faisalabad Institute of Cardiology, Faisalabad. Period: 15-07-2018 to 14-01-2019. Material & Methods: Study was approved by hospital ethical committee. A total of 45 patients were included in the study that fulfilled the study inclusion criteria and gave written informed consent. PTMC was performed using Inoue balloon technique through right femoral venous route under local anesthesia. Transthoracic echocardiography was done after 48 hours of PTMC for ASD assessment. Results: Out of 45 patients there were 17 (37.8%) males and 28 (62.2%) females. The mean age was (29.06±10.85) years. There were 9 (20%) patients with NYHA functional class II, 28(62.2%) with NYHA functional class III and 8(17.8%) with NYHA functional class IV symptoms. ASD was detected in 15 (33.3%) patients after 48 hours of PTMC. Conclusion: In this study frequency of ASD in patients of mitral stenosis undergoing PTMC was 33.3%. Results of this study can help to identify the patients who will be potential candidates for closure of residual ASD.
