Mitral stenosis is a disease having symptoms in advanced stages induced by involvement of heart valves in “Acute Rheumatic fever”, a childhood disease. Mitral stenosis is a narrowing that makes it difficult for the blood to pass from one of the chambers inside the heart to another. For this reason, blood accumulates in the lungs. This causes the person to feel shortness of breath. In the case of mild stenosis, drug treatment is sufficient, but in the case of moderate and severe stenosis, mitral Valvuloplasty or open-heart surgery is performed.

Mitral Valvuloplasty is a system performed by entering from the groin using a catheter and which is based on remedying the stenosis by positioning a balloon at the place of stenosis. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia.
