Severe mitral incompetence following balloon mitral valvuloplasty: complete resolution during follow-up.
Mitral incompetence (MR) is a complication of balloon mitral valvuloplasty. There are few reports of long-term outcome. We believe this is the first report in the literature of complete resolution during follow-up of severe mitral regurgitation resulting from balloon valvuloplasty.
