Thromboembolism Risk in Patients with Mitral Stenosis

A total of 168 consecutive patients with predominant rheumatic mitral stenosis were evaluated by transthoracic (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).

Of the 168 patients, 35 had previous embolic events (group I) and 133 had no emboli (group II). A total of 77 (45.8%) patients had atrial fibrillation. The frequency of atrial fibrillation was higher in group I than group II (68.6% vs 39.8%, p
