Repeat Percutaneous Balloon Mitral Valvotomy vs Mitral Valve Replacement in Patients With Restenosis After Previous Balloon Mitral Valvotomy and Unfavorable Valve Characteristics

Abstract

In a population with predominantly unfavorable characteristics for PBMV, short- and long-term outcomes are both reasonable after re-PBMV with less mortality but requiring more reinterventions compared with MVR.
