The current study aimed to investigate whether MAC could independently influence the immediate result of PTMC.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of all patients undergoing PTMC in our institution between April 2005 and November 2009, we included 87 patients (28.7%male, mean \u00b1 SD age = 42.8 \u00b1 12.6 years) with rheumatic mitral stenosis who had additional data on the echocardiographic evaluation of MAC along with MV leaflets morphology. Echocardiographic assessments were repeated up to six weeks after PTMC to evaluate the immediate PTMC outcome.

The rate of optimal PTMC results was less in patients with MAC in comparison to those without MAC (29.4% vs.71.4%). After adjustments for possible confounders such as age and leaflets morphological subcomponents (thickening, mobility, calcification, and subvalvular thickening), MAC remained a significant negative predictor of a suboptimal PTMC result (odds ratio = 0.154; 95%CI = 0.038-0.626, p value = 0.009) together with leaflet thickening (odds ratio = 0.214; 95%CI = 0.060-0.770, p value = 0.018).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>MAC appeared to independently influence the immediate result of PTMC; therefore, mitral annulus evaluation may be considered in the echocardiographic assessment of the mitral apparatus prior to PTMC.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1476-7120-9-29","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,11,17]],"date-time":"2011-11-17T14:00:35Z","timestamp":1321538435000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Mitral annular calcification predicts immediate results of percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Mojtaba","family":"Salarifar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mehrnaz","family":"Rezvanfard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hakimeh","family":"Sadeghian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Azam","family":"Safir-mardanloo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nahid","family":"Shafii","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,10,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"385_CR1","first-page":"401","volume":"87","author":"BD Prendergast","year":"2002","unstructured":"Prendergast BD, Shaw TRD, Iung B, Vahanian A, Northridge DB: Contemporary criteria for the selection of patients for percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty.
