A new simple score to predict late outcome of balloon mitral commissurotomy - 05/01/18
Résumé |
Background |
Balloon mitral commissurotomy (BMC) has become widely accepted as the treatment of choice for mitral stenosis in patients with favorable anatomy, but few tools are available to predict its long-term outcome.
Purpose |
We sought to determine a simple score to predict late outcome of BMC in patients with mitral stenosis.
Methods |
Late results of BMC were assessed in 1035 consecutive patients at our institution. A good immediate result was defined as valve area ≥1.5 cm2 without mitral regurgitation>2/4. BMC procedure was performed using the double balloon or the Inoue balloon techniques. Ore to predict late outcome of BMC in patients with mitral stenosis.
Results |
Mean age of our population was 35.6±12 years. A successful procedure was observed in 92.4% of cases. At a mean follow-up of 20 years, the rate of survival with freedom from mitral surgery, or repeat percutaneous mitral commissurotomy and with New York Heart Association class I or II was of 47.6±2.4%. By multivariate analysis using Cox regression model, three predictors of poor late functional results were identified: prior commissurotomy (P=0.014), Wilkins score >8 (P<0.0001) and final mitral valve area <1.8 cm2 (P<0.0001). From the results of this analysis, we sought to develop a scoring system using the items indicated in the table below. Patients were considered at low risk if the score was of 0 to 5 (17.6% of patients). They were considered at middle risk if the score was of 6 to 8 (37.8% of patients) and were considered at high risk if the score was of 9 to 14 (51% of patients) (Table 1).
Conclusion |
Twenty-year outcome of balloon mitral commissurotomy in a relatively young population is very encouraging and can be predicted by a simple score.
