Abstract
A 63-year-old man and a 49-year-old man who underwent PTMC eight years before were admitted in our hospital because of regurgitation and restenosis of the mitral valve. Both of them had ulcer like lesion on the anterior leaflet near the commissure of the mitral valve. These changes were made by PTMC and likely caused thrombosis. Long-term follow up data of PTMC is essential to chose the correct operative method for treating mitral stenosis.Entities:
