Isolated pulmonary valve endocarditis with rapid progression: a case report and literature review
Background Isolated pulmonary valve endocarditis (IPE) is rare, accounting for 1.5–2% of all cases of infective endocarditis. Herein, we describe a case of isolated pulmonary valve endocarditis with rapid progression in a 28-year-old male.

Pulmonary Valve Repair for Patients With Acquired Pulmonary Valve Insufficiency [PDF]
Pulmonary valve (PV) insufficiency is often an acquired condition after treatment for pulmonary stenosis. It is recognized that PV insufficiency has serious deleterious effects. Although surgical replacement of the PV is efficacious, artificial valves inevitably fail and require re-intervention. The purpose of this study was to summarize our experience

The pulmonary valve and the pulmonary artery [PDF]
A 65-year-old female was admitted to our hospital complaining of a progressive dyspnoea. On physical examination, there was a mild diastolic murmur over the pulmonary area and the electrocardiogram was normal. Two-dimensional echocardiography showed an aneurysmatic dilation of the pulmonary artery trunk (diameters of 59 mm × 55 …

Quadricuspid pulmonary valve (QPV) is a rare congenital cardiac malformation which is notable for its asymptomatic behavior. With only a few hundred cases reported in literature, its clinical significance is not exactly known, although many authors have placed its implications on the Ross procedure. We report a case of QPV which was detected on routine
