Asymmetric Calcification in Rheumatic Mitral Stenosis and Implications for Balloon Valvuloplasty.

ABSTRACT: A 50 year-old male with severe rheumatic mitral stenosis was deemed too high risk for surgery and referred for percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty. The valvuloplasty was successful in reducing the trans-mitral gradient and improving the patient's symptoms, however was complicated by a tear in the posteromedial commissure and moderate mitral regurgitation.
