Double loop technique for Percutaneous Transvenous Mitral Commissurotomy.

ABSTRACT: Percutaneous Transvenous Mitral Commissurotomy (PTMC) is a standard treatment for critical mitral stenosis. In certain situations such as large left atrium (LA) or low trans-septal puncture, there is technical difficulty in crossing a PTMC balloon across the mitral valve, leading to high failure rate. I hereby describe a case of PTMC successfully performed by using double loop technique to cross the mitral valve.
