Abstract
We investigated the plasma levels of molecular markers for the status of thrombin generation and fibrinolysis in patients with mitral stenosis before and after percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty. Our results show that percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty results in decreased coagulation activity, suggesting that percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty is also useful for prevention of systemic embolism in patients with mitral stenosis.Entities:
