Title: Single large‐balloon percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty
Abstract: Abstract Successful percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty was performed in six patients utilizing single large (up to 30 mm diameter) balloons. Mitral valve area increased from 1.1 ± 0.1 to 2.5 ± 0.3 cm 2 ( P < 0.01), and there were no complications or significant increases in mitral regurgitation. Single largeballoon mitral valvuloplasty may be as effective as the currently used double‐balloon technique and may allow the procedure to be performed more easily and quickly.
