Balloon Mitral Valvotomy (BMV) is a medical procedure used to treat mitral stenosis, a condition where the mitral valve in the heart becomes narrowed, restricting the flow of blood from the left atrium to the left ventricle. Mitral stenosis is often a result of rheumatic heart disease.
The goal of BMV is to relieve the obstruction caused by the narrowed mitral valve and improve blood flow. Here’s an overview of the procedure:

It’s important to note that not all patients with mitral stenosis are suitable candidates for BMV, and the decision to perform the procedure is made based on individual patient characteristics. The choice between BMV and other treatment options, such as mitral valve replacement, depends on factors such as the severity of the mitral stenosis, the patient’s overall health, and the anatomy of the mitral valve. The decision is typically made by a team of cardiac specialists.
