OBJECTIVES: This HTA aims to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of Single Balloon Valvoloplasty in comparison to the Double Ballon Valvuloplasty in order to assess its results in patients suffering from Mitral Stenosis. METHODS: Health technology assessment was conducted by systematically reviewing the published literature . An electronic literature search was performed in Cochrane, PubMed, Journal of the American College of Cardiology databases for randomized controlled trials. RevMan 5.3 was used for data analysis and quantitative data synthesis. RESULTS: Out of 78 studies which were screened, 15 studies were included in the quantitative analysis (meta-analysis). In comparison to the Double Balloon Valvuloplasty Single Balloon Valvuloplasty significantly reduced mortality by 17 % which is indicated by Risk Ratio (RR) 0.83 (95%CI, 0.38- 1.84). Single Balloon Valvuloplasty is found to be 4% more effective in reducing Mitral regurgitation Risk Ratio (RR)is 0.96(95%CI, 0.74- 1.23).Procedure failure with single balloon Valvoloplasty is less indicated by Risk Ratio (RR)0.98 (95%Cl ,0.89-1.07). CONCLUSIONS: Single Balloon Valvuloplasty is clinically effective as far as the outcomes pertaining to the Mortality,Mitral regurgitation and Procedure failure are concerned . The burden of Rhuematic Heart Disease which thereby results in Mitral Stenosis being high therefore Single Balloon Valvuloplasty can be a potent intervention.
