Article Synopsis
- Percutaneous pulmonary valvuloplasty is the preferred method for treating pulmonary valve stenosis, particularly in children, and this study aimed to evaluate its effectiveness and long-term outcomes.
- The study involved 53 patients, assessing their heart function and valve performance over a median follow-up period of 15 years; it found a significant decrease in transvalvular pressure gradients and low rates of complications.
- Results indicated that most patients experienced some degree of late pulmonary regurgitation, but overall, the procedure was successful with minimal long-term issues, and no patients required further surgery.
