title: [Echocardiography in mitral valve valvuloplasty].
abstract: Two-dimensional and Doppler echocardiography have an important role in the management of patients with mitral balloon valvuloplasty (MBV). It is extremely useful in the selection of patients for the procedure, the prediction of its outcome, the assessment of the effect of MBV, the recognition of major complications and long-term follow-up of patients with the aim to recognize early restenosis. The authors report their own experience with long-term follow-up of the population of 55 patients after MBV.
