Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty (BMV) with inoue balloon is the most common technique being followed worldwide. Over the wire BMV is a modified technique with Joseph Mitral Valvuloplasty (JOMIVA) balloon and is being followed in certain centres. We hypothesized that, the incidence and mechanism of Mitral Regurgitation (MR) is likely to be different from that of inoue balloon.
