Abstract
- The authors report on three pregnant patients with mitral stenosis with heart failure in functional class IV (NYHA) unresponsive to clinical treatment. They were submitted to mitral valvuloplasty, with significant clinical improvement, and were, hence, asymptomatic. Despite the small number of cases, it may be concluded that the procedure is simple and safe, which can be attested by the successful results.
