This paper describes the results in 3 patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis, who underwent percutaneous transluminal mitral valvuloplasty, using the double balloon technique. The clinical outcome after 6 months' follow-up is favourable. The procedure is effective and relatively safe, if careful patient selection takes place using echocardiography and cardiac catheterisation. Balloon dilatation of a stenotic mitral valve may be an attractive alternative to surgical open or closed commissurotomy.
本文描述了3例风湿性二尖瓣狭窄患者采用双球囊技术行经皮腔内二尖瓣成形术的结果。6个月随访后的临床结果良好。如果使用超声心动图和心导管检查仔细选择患者，该手术是有效且相对安全的。二尖瓣狭窄的球囊扩张术可能是外科直视或闭式交界切开术的一个有吸引力的替代方法。
