RESUMEN

Percutaneous mitral and tricuspid balloon valvuloplasty was realized in the same procedure using a double lumen exchange catheter that could accommodate two guide wires and two balloons (19 mm and Trefoil 3 c 10 mm--Schneider) with simultaneous insufflation. Hemodynamically successful was accomplished as evidenced by a decrease in mean mitral gradient from 34 mmHg to 1 mmHg and a decrease in mean tricuspid gradient from 5 mmHg to 3 mmHg. These results were confirmed by serial Doppler echocardiographic studies and by correspondent reduction in symptoms.
