Predictors for long-term outcome of pulmonary valve perforation and balloon valvuloplasty in neonates with critical pulmonary valve stenosis or pulmonary valve atresia with intact ventricular septum [PDF]
IntroductionPercutaneous balloon valvuloplasty is the treatment of choice for critical pulmonary valve stenosis (CPS) and pulmonary valve atresia with intact ventricular septum (PA/IVS) if the ventricle has a suitable size.

Predictors of successful pulmonary valve-sparing repair in pediatric humanitarian patients with Tetralogy of Fallot [PDF]
Introduction The optimal surgical approach for right ventricular outflow tract obstruction in Tetralogy of Fallot aims to preserve the native pulmonary valve annulus, as this is associated with better long-term outcomes.

Early inspiris resilia valve failure in a patient with idiopathic pulmonary valve regurgitation [PDF]
Background Pulmonary valve failure requiring replacement (PVR) is more commonly seen in children and young adults with congenital heart disease (CHD). Adults with CHD and pulmonary regurgitation have traditionally undergone PVR with bioprosthetic valves.

Pulmonary valve endocarditis [PDF]
One of the major applications of echocardiography is to identify vegetations in patients with suspected endocarditis. A 60 year old woman with sinus venosus atrial septal defect (ASD) presented with history of prolonged fever and dyspnoea. Before admission she was treated with several antibiotics, but without …
