Özet
Introduction:
Percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PBMV) has become the
treatment of choice for patients with symptomatic mitral stenosis since
its successful use by Inoue et al. (1) in 1984. One of contraindications to
this technique is the presence of thrombus in the left atrium (LA) or left
atrial appendage (LAA). Nevertheless, there are some publications
indicating that Inoue technique can be safely performed in patients
with LAA thrombus (2).
In this report, we describe two patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis
referred for PMBV and were found to have LAA thrombus. Despite the
presence of LAA thrombus, successful PMBV, with the help of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), was undertaken without complications.
