Percutaneous Transvenous
Mitral Commissurotomy (PTMC)

Chairperson:
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tanjima Parveen
• PTMC is an important therapeutic tool in
treatment of mitral stenosis
• First performed by K. Inoue in 1984 followed
by Lock in 1985.
• Based on principle that balloon dilatation in
the stenosed mitral valve improves the valve
opening by splitting the fused mitral
commissures.
Stages and Severity of Mitral Stenosis
Stage Definition
A At risk of MS
B Progressive MS
C Asymptomatic severe MS
D Symptomatic severe MS
 Valve anatomy
 Valve haemodynamics
 Haemodynamic consequences
 Symptoms
Mitral Stenosis Severity
Mild MS MVA > 1.5 cm2,
Mean gradient < 5 mm Hg,
PASP < 30 mm Hg
Moderate
MS
MVA 1-1.5 cm2,
Mean gradient 5-10 mm Hg,
PASP 30-50 mm Hg
Severe MS MVA < 1.0 cm2,
Mean gradient > 10 mm Hg,
PASP > 50 mm Hg
PTMC/PBMC
INDICATIONS
Symptomatic patients (NYHA functional class II,
III, or IV), with moderate or severe MS and valve
morphology favorable for PMV in the absence of
left atrial thrombus or moderate to severe MR
Asymptomatic patients with moderate or severe
MS and valve morphology that is favorable for
PMV, who have pulmonary hypertension
(pulmonary artery systolic pressure > 50 mm Hg
at rest or > 60 mm Hg with exercise) in the
absence of left atrial thrombus or moderate to
severe MR
INDICATIONS….
PMV is reasonable for patients with moderate or
severe MS who have a non pliable calcified valve,
are in NYHA functional class III–IV, and are either
not candidates for surgery or at high risk for
surgery
 PMV may be considered for asymptomatic
patients with moderate or severe MS and valve
morphology favorable for PMV who have new-
onset atrial fibrillation in the absence of left atrial
thrombus or moderate to severe MR
INDICATIONS….
 PMV may be considered for symptomatic
patients (NYHA FC II, III, or IV) with MV area > 1.5
cm2 if there is evidence of hemodynamically
significant MS based on PA systolic pressure > 60
mm Hg, pulmonary artery wedge pressure of 25
mm Hg or more, or mean MV gradient > 15 mm
Hg during exercise
 PMV may be considered as an alternative to
surgery for patients with moderate or severe MS
who have a nonpliable calcified valve and are in
NYHA class III–IV
Contraindications for PTMC
1. Mitral valve area >1.5 cm2
2. Left atrial thrombus
3. More than mild mitral regurgitation
4. Severe or bi-commissural calcification
5. Absence of commissural fusion
6. Severe concomitant aortic valve disease or severe
combined tricuspid stenosis and regurgitation
requiring surgery
7. Concomitant coronary artery disease requiring
surgery
Assessment of valve morphology
according to Wilkins score
Grade Mobility Thickening
1 Highly mobile with only leaflet
tips restricted
Near normal (4–5 mm)
2 Mild leaflet restriction; base
portions have normal mobility
Marginal thickening (5–8 mm)
with normal thickness of mid
leaflets
3 Valve moves forward in
diastole, mainly from base
Thickening of entire leaflet (5–
8 mm)
4 No or minimal diastolic
movement of valve
Extensive thickening of all
leaflet tissues (> 8–10 mm)
Wilkins….
Grade Calcification Subvalvular thickening
1 Single area of echo
brightness
Minimal thickening below
leaflets
2 Scattered areas of
increased brightness along
leaflet margins
Chordal thickening up to
one-third of chordal length
3 Brightness extending to
the mid portion of leaflets
Thickening extending to
distal one-third of chords
4 Extensive brightness
throughout the leaflet
tissue
Extensive thickening to
papillary muscles
Assessment of valve morphology
according to Cormier score
Echocardiographic
group
Mitral valve anatomy
Group 1 Pliable non-calcified anterior mitral leaflet
and mild subvalvular disease(i.e thin cordae
≥ 10mm long)
Group 2 Pliable non-calcified anterior mitral leaflet
and severe subvalvular disease(i.e
thickened cordae < 10mm long)
Group 3 Calcification of mitral valve of any extent as
assessed by fluoroscopy, whatever the state
of subvalvular status
Pre-procedural Care
• History
• Physical examination
• TTE
• TEE
• If the pt. is on warfarin, it has to be stopped 5
days before the procedure.
• Transvenous or Antegrade Approach
• Inoue balloon technique
• Double balloon technique.
• Transarterial or Retrograde Approach
Technique
Instruments
• Puncture needle

• 2 pressure lines for arterial and venous pressure monitoring
• J-tipped Guide wire(0.035’)
• Pigtail catheter

Selection of Baloon size
• Standardization by patient’s Height

PTMC-28 24-28 >160
PTMC-26 22-26 >147

PTMC procedure
Post procedure evaluation
• Symptomatic improvement
• Ausculation of precordium
• Decrease in intensity of MDM
• Appearance of PSM
• Lung bases
• Two-dimensional and Doppler echocardiography
• Commissural separation
• Mitral valve area
• MR grading
• Haemodynamics assessment
PTMC/PBMC
Successful PTMC
PTMC successful when
• final MVA is > 1.5 cm2
• mean mitral gradient < 5 mmHg
• with no major complications.
Complication
Cardiac Complication Local Complication
• Failure of the procedure (<5%)
• Hemopericardium (Aortic
rupture, LA free wall rupture) (
0.5 to 10%)
– Pericardial Effusion/tamponade
• Systemic Embolization (0.5 to
5%)
• Mitral Regurgitation (2-9%)
• ASD (5%)
• Infective endocarditis
• Mortality (1-2%)
• Restenosis (2-60%)
Bleeding
Hematoma
Arteriovenous fistula
Infection
Follow up
• Echocardiography, preferably > 72 hours after
the procedure.
• If H/o AF, warfarin should be restarted 2 to 3
days after the procedure.
• Clinical follow-up examination should be
performed at least once a year and more
often if symptoms develop.
• Follow-up echocardiography once-a-year basis
During the recovery
• A tight dressing on the puncture site is applied.
• Pt should lay flat for about 6 hrs after the
procedure
• IV antibiotics should be given
• Measures should be taken immediately if patient
develops fever, chest pain, swelling or pain in
groin or leg, or bleeding at the groin site.
• Patient may return to most of their normal
activities the day after the procedure.
• Warfarin, if stopped, can be started the next day
Prognosis
• Long-term studies with follow-up for up to 20
years are available.
• Among 912 patients with a median age of 48
years, cardiovascular survival without
reintervention and cardiovascular survival
without surgery was 38% and 46% at 20 years.
• In another study of 547 patients with a mean
age of 31 years, freedom from restenosis at 10
and 19 years was 78% and 26%, respectively.
