Factors favouring successful percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty
Mitral stenosis is amenable to percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty if the echocardiography demonstrates :

- Good mobility of Anterior mitral valve leaflet
- Little chordal involvement
- not more than trivial mitral regurgitation
- no left atrial thrombus
- no commissural calcification.
