ABSTRACT
Desde o primeiro relato de valvoplastia pulmonar, o método vem sendo utilizado com grande freqüência, tornando-se procedimento de escolha na estenose pulmonar valvar isolada. A experiência de valvoplastia pulmonar em adultos com estenose pulmonar valvar calcificada é mínima. Relatamos o caso de paciente de 62 anos, sexo feminino, portadora de estenose pulmonar valvar calcificada, submetida a valvoplastia com cateter balão, apresentando queda no gradiente sistólico transvalvar, comprovando o sucesso pós-procedimento
Since the first pulmonary valvuloplasty report, the procedure has been used frequently, becoming the best option in isolated valvar pulmonary stenosis. Pulmonary valvuloplasty in adults with calcified valvar pulmonary stenosis, however, has been minimal. We have reported the case of a 62 year-old female patient, with calcified valvar pulmonary stenosis, who underwent valvuloplasty with balloon catheter and showed a decrease in the transvalvar systolic gradient, thus proving the success of post procedure
