title: Percutaneous mitral valvulotomy in the presence of atrial septal aneurysm.
abstract: In this report, we discuss the feasibility of percutaneous mitral valvulotomy in the presence of mitral stenosis and concomitant atrial septal aneurysm. Our data suggest that percutaneous mitral valvulotomy can be safely performed if the atrial septal aneurysm does not involve the entire interatrial septum.
