Abstract
A 75-year-old woman with severe rheumatic mitral stenosis was admitted for percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty. Two-dimensional echocardiography disclosed severe calcification of the posterolateral left atrial wall and interatrial septum. Percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty, using the inoue technique, was successfully performed after a transseptal puncture through the calcified interatrial septum, avoiding the need for surgical intervention.
