Key result
Pulmonary valve replacement and ICD successfully treat late post-valvulotomy cardiac arrest from severe pulmonary regurgitation.
Why the study?
The number of adults with congenital heart defects is increasing, and awareness of common adult congenital defects including pulmonary stenosis and its long-term complications is important.
Case Report (n=1)
Adults with congenital heart disease, such as pulmonary regurgitation after childhood valvulotomy, require follow-up in specialized centers to prevent severe complications like cardiac arrest.

Klofáč et al. (2017) conducted a case report in Pulmonary regurgitation after surgical valvulotomy for pulmonary stenosis (n=1). Pulmonary valve replacement and ICD implantation was evaluated on Clinical recovery and right ventricular function. Pulmonary valve replacement and ICD implantation successfully treated a 46-year-old man who suffered cardiac arrest due to severe pulmonary regurgitation 36 years after surgical valvulotomy.
