A member asked:
What are possible non-invasive treatments for mitral stenosis with mitral valve area less than 0.85?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mitral stenosis: Severe mitral stenosis is a mechanical obstructive lesion. It needs to be corrected by surgery or occassionally a catheter based dilation of the abnormal valve. Surgery is generally preferred. Non invasive treatment can not increase the valve area and is limited to slowing the heart rate to allow more time for ventricular filling. This is of limited benefit.
