Balloon Mitral Valvotomy

Balloon mitral valvotomy (BMV) is a medical procedure used to treat mitral stenosis, a condition where the mitral valve in the heart becomes narrowed. The mitral valve regulates the flow of blood between the left atrium and the left ventricle. When this valve becomes stenotic, it restricts the normal flow of blood from the left atrium to the left ventricle, hindering the efficient functioning of the heart.
