What does Mitral Stenosis mean?

Stenosis means narrowing of an opening, such as a heart valve. Stenosis of the mitral valve limits the forward flow of blood from the left atrium to the left ventricle. This may cause a back-up of blood and fluid in the lungs.

What are the symptoms of stenosis?

• Shortness of breath
• Fatigue
• Quick weight gain
• Weakness
• Dizziness
• Swelling in the ankles, feet or abdomen
• Heart palpitations

What are the causes of Mitral Stenosis?

Mitral Stenosis most commonly develops many years after a person has had suffered from Rheumatic Fever, as during Rheumatic fever, the valve become s inflamed.

How is Mitral Valve Stenosis treated?

Valve stenosis can sometimes be treated with medications if the symptoms are mild. When the complications are beyond medications then surgery is advised. The most common surgery for treating Mitral Valve Stenosis is Balloon Mitral Valvotomy.

What does Balloon Mitral Valvotomy does?

Balloon Mitral Valvotomy (BMV) successfully opens the narrowed valve and improves the overall function of the heart. Balloon Mitral Valvotomy (BMV) is used foe:

• Select patients who have mitral valve stenosis with symptoms
• Older patients who have aortic valve stenosis, but are not able to undergo surgery
• Some patients with pulmonic valve stenosis

BMV procedure can be performed on the mitral, tricuspid, aortic or pulmonary valves.

How is BMV performed?

Long, slender tubes called catheters are first placed into blood vessels in the groin and guided into the chambers of the heart. The cardiologist then creates a tiny hole in the wall between the upper 2 chambers of the heart. This hole provides an opening for the cardiologist to access the left atrium with a special catheter that has a balloon at the tip.

The catheter is positioned so the balloon tip is directly put inside the narrowed valve. The balloon is inflated and deflated several times to widen the valve opening. Once the cardiologist has determined that the opening of the valve has been widened enough, the balloon is deflated and removed.

During the procedure, the cardiologist may perform an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) to get a better picture of the mitral valve.

What should I expect before the procedure?

• Most patients will need to have blood tests, chest X-ray, echocardiogram before the procedure. These tests are usually scheduled the day before the BMV.
• Ask your doctor what medications should be taken on the day of your procedure.
• You will not be able to eat or drink after midnight the evening before the procedure.
• Tell your doctor if you have any kind of allergies.

When should I call my doctor post procedure?

When you go home after the procedure, call your doctor immediately if you have the following:

• High Fever
• Chest Pain
• Shortness of Breath
• Unusual swelling or weight gain
• Bleeding, swelling, pain or changes in skin colour at the groin site
• Return of any previously faced symptoms

Payment Options:

• BY CASH OR CREDIT / DEBIT CARD.
