Middle-long term follow-up results of percutaneous balloon miral valvuloplasty in 344 patients / 中国介入心脏病学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To identify the middle-long term outcomes,the incidence of restenosis,and the determining factors of restenosis.Methods Four hundred and sixty five patients with mitral stenosis (MS) underwent percutaneous balloon mitrail valvuloplasty (PBMV) from May 1990 to May 2002. Among the 465 patients,a retrospective study of 344 cases (258 females and 86 males) with complete data was presented in this article. The mean age was (40.2?9.6) years (ranging from 15 to 72 years). They were followed-up after PBMV. The data were analyzed with SAS software. Results Follow-up results of 1-12 years [median (3.6?2.5) years] showed that the one-year event-free survival rate was 100% with 9 cases of restenosis in 344 cases (2.5%),the three-years event-free survival rate was 97% with 39 cases of restenosis in 286 cases (13.6%),the five-years event-free survival rate was 91% with 60 cases of restenosis in 221 cases (27.1%),the eight-year event-free survival rate was 80% with 32 cases of restenosis in 81 cases (39.5%),and the ten-year event-free survival rate was 69% with 20 cases of restenosis in 42 cases (47.6%),and the twelve-year event-free survival rate was 63% with 9 cases of restenosis in 16 cases (56.3%). The event-free survival rate was greater in patients with modified echocardiographic score ≤10. Conclusion PBMV can produce good clinical middle and long-term outcomes in most patients,and those with modified echocardiographic score ≤10,bi-commissural splitting,sinus rhythm,large mitral valve area after PBMV,without poor cardiac function may especially have the best middle and long-term results.
