In patients with MS undergoing PMV, pulmonary pressures may not reduce immediately after the procedure, despite adequate opening of the valve. Abnormal PAP response can be predicted from baseline clinical and valvular characteristics as well as post-procedural left ventricular compliance. The lack of any immediate reduction in mPAP is not associated with long-term adverse outcomes.
