Successful balloon valvuloplasty in an adult patient with severe pulmonic stenosis and aneurysmal poststenotic dilatation.
CATHETERIZATION AND CARDIOVASCULAR INTERVENTIONS(2002)
Abstract
We present a case of pulmonic stenosis with large aneurysmal poststenotic dilatation that was safely and effectively treated with balloon valvuloplasty. Though the poststenotic dilatation persists after the procedure, the risk of dissection and rupture is very low. Hence, balloon valvuloplasty should be considered the treatment of choice in this setting. (C) 2002 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
