Balloon Mitral Valvotomy is a catheter-based procedure designed to relieve narrowing of the mitral valve and improve blood flow through the heart. It is generally considered for carefully selected patients with significant mitral stenosis and suitable valve anatomy. The procedure involves advancing a balloon catheter to the mitral valve and inflating it to separate the valve leaflets. Comprehensive cardiac imaging before treatment helps determine suitability, while follow-up care monitors valve performance and potential complications.
