However, TR influences the outcome of patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PBMV) procedure in rheumatic heart disease patients with mitral valve (MV) stenosis and tricuspid valve regurgitation. Methods: Two hundred and twenty patients were enrolled in this study due to rheumatic heart disease with MS combined with TR. Mitral balloon catheter made in China was used to expand MV. The following parameters were measured before and after PBMV: MV area (MVA), TR area (TRA), atrial pressure and diameter, and pulmonary artery pressure (PAP). The patients were followed for 6 months to 9 years. Results: After PBMV, the MVAs increased significantly (1.7 ± 0.3 cm2 vs. 0.9 ± 0.3 cm2, P 〈 0.01); TRA significantly decreased (6.3 ± 1.7 cm2 vs. 14.2 ± 6.5 cm2, P 〈 0.01), right atrial area (RAA) decreased significantly (21,5 ± 4.5 cm2 vs. 25.4 ± 4.3 cm〈 P 〈 0.05), TRA/RAA (%) decreased significantly (29.3 ± 3.2% vs. 44.2 ± 3.6%, P 〈 0.01). TR velocity (TRV) and TR continue time (TRT) as well as TRV - TRT decreased significantly ( 183.4± 9.4 cm/s vs. 254.5 ± 10.7 cm/s, P 〈 0.01 ; 185.7 ± 13.6 ms vs. 238.6 ±l 1.3 ms, P 〈 0.01 ; 34.2 ±5.6 cm vs. 60.7 ± 8.5 cm, P 〈 0.01, respectively), The postoperative left atrial diameter (LAD) significantly reduced (41.3 ± 6.2 mm vs. 49.8± 6.8 mm, P 〈 0.01) and the postoperative right atrial diameter (RAD) significantly reduced (28.7 ±5.6 mm vs. 46.5 ± 6.3 mm, P 〈 0.01 ); the postoperative left atrium pressure significantly reduced ( 15.6 ± 6.1 mmHg vs. 26.5 ± 6.6 mmHg, P 〈 0.01 ), the postoperative right atrial pressure decreased significantly ( 13.2 ±2.4 mmHg vs. 18.5 ±4.3 mmHg, P 〈 0.01 ).
