Abstract
Percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty has been used with good results to treat rheumatic mitral stenosis. However, its use in degenerative aort ic stenosis has shown many limitations. There is little information ab out balloon valvuloplasty in tricuspid and aortic rheumatic stenosis. This article describes two patients with combined rheumatic mitral, ao rtic and tricuspid stenosis in which triple percutaneous valvuloplasty was performed in a single procedure.
