Surgical rheumatic mitral valve repair compared with percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty in mitral stenosis in current era: a propensity score matching study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Many comparative studies of percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PBMV) and surgical mitral commissurotomy (SMC) in rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) were done in the last few decades. With the development of valve repair techniques, various surgical rheumatic valve repair techniques have been applied in clinic, but there is a lack of comparison with PBMV. Our study was designed to compare the perioperative and mid-term outcomes of PBMV and mitral valve repair with "four-step" procedure in the treatment of rheumatic MS.

Methods

Patients with MS were treated with PBMV or rheumatic mitral valve repair (rMVP) at Beijing Anzhen Hospital between January 1, 2013 and September 30, 2018 were selected. By using propensity score matching (PSM) method, we compared the chan
