ABSTRACT
Percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty (PBV) was done in 7 adults of pulmonary valvular stenosis, which was diagnosed with catheterization and cine-angiography of rigtht heart, in Seoul National University Hospital from Jan. 1986 to Dec. 1986. The results were as follows 1) Among the seven cases six were male and the range of age was from 19 to 40 years. Atrial septal defects associated in 2 cases were not significant clinically. 2) The peak systolic gradient from right ventricle to pulmonary artery before the procedure was below 50 mmhg in 1 cases, 50 to 100 mmHg in 1 case, and above 100 mmHg in 5 cases. 3) Before PBV the mean systolic pressure of right ventricle was 121+/-42 mmHg and the peak systolic gradient was 106+/-41 mmHg. After PBV those were 58+/-30 mmHg and 40+/-31 mmHg, revealing significant improvement. 4) Balloon catheter (Medi-tech, 9F) was used in all cases. single balloon of 20 mm outer diameter was applied in 2 cases and double balloons of various sizes were applied in 5 cases in which single balloon showed inadequate dilatation. It is suggested that percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty is safe and effective alternative to surgical valvotomy of pulmonary valvular stenosis in adults.
