Özet

Background and aim of the study: Customarily, heparin is used to prevent embolic complications arising during percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (PMBV), but this may prolong hospital stay and increases the risk of bleeding, hemopericardium and cardiac tamponade. The study aim was to assess in-hospital complications of PMBV performed without heparin.
