Abstract
Balloon valvulotomy is the procedure of choice for relief of mitral stenosis. Inoue technique is the most widely accepted technique which uses the right femoral vein to access the interatial septum. Due to technical issues, left femoral vein approach is less recommended.
We report an unusual case in which the right femoral vein was not accessible and mitral balloon valvulotomy was done via left femoral approach.
Left femoral vein may be used in special cases where the right femoral vein is not accessible.
