Immediate outcomes of low-pressure balloon valvuloplasty for severe pulmonary valve stenosis in 20 dogs: a retrospective, single-center case series.

Introduction: The primary objective of this study was to describe the immediate post-procedural outcomes in dogs with severe pulmonary stenosis that were treated with low-pressure balloon valvuloplasty (BV) at a single institution.

Animals, Materials And Methods: Retrospective case series; medical records of dogs that underwent BV performed with a balloon dilation catheter >20 mm in diameter and a burst pressure of less than 4 atm (atm) were retrospectively reviewed. Twenty animals were identified fitting the criteria.
