Abstract
The efficacy and safety of percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy by the Inoue technique, in patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis is well known. However, presence of left atrial/appendage thrombus or difficult LV entry entails the use of ‘over the wire’(OTW)technique. Here we describe a case series highlighting the utility and modifications of OTW technique.
