Conduction disturbances related to percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty.
During the performance of 280 consecutive percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty operations, two cases of conduction disturbances were reported (0.7%). These rare complications are transient and due to the mechanical pressure of the balloon on the conduction system.
