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]
Frontiers in Cardiovascular MedicineIntroductionPercutaneous 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.

Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation [PDF]
Annals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2012 Pulmonary regurgitation (PR) is a frequent sequelae after repair of tetralogy of Fallot, pulmonary atresia, truncus arteriosus, Rastelli and Ross operation. Due to patient growth and conduit degeneration, these conduits have to be changed frequently due to regurgitation or stenosis. However, morbidity is significant in these repeated operations.
