Key result
Percutaneous balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty supersedes surgery as first-line therapy for pediatric pulmonary valve stenosis.
Why the study?
Early diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary valve stenosis in children can improve growth and prognosis, and recent advances have shifted treatment approaches.
Percutaneous balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty has become the first-line treatment for isolated pulmonary valve stenosis in children, replacing surgery.
Supports percutaneous valvuloplasty preference in children with isolated stenosis; leaves open need for prospective durability data.
Pulmonary valve stenosis (PS) is a common congenital heart disease, its early diagnosis and treatment can improve growth and prognosis in children with pulmonary valve stenosis. With the development of the diagnostics and treatment, percutaneous balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty (PBPV) has replaced surgery as the first choice for isolated pulmonary valve stenosis. The article reviews the recent progress in diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary valve stenosis.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ajms.v6i6.12017Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.6(6) 2015 1-5

Shiv Kumar Yadav (2015) conducted a review in Pulmonary valve stenosis. Percutaneous balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty (PBPV) vs. Surgery was evaluated. Percutaneous balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty has replaced surgery as the preferred first-line treatment for isolated pulmonary valve stenosis in children.
