title: [Treatment of congenital pulmonary valve stenosis by percutaneous valvuloplasty].
abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy technique and follow-up results of balloon valvuloplasty for congenital valvular pulmonary stenosis. Percutaneous dilatation was performed in 48 patients aged 0.5 to 21 years (m = 7.5 yrs) from two pediatric cardiology centers (Lyon and Montreal). The right ventricular peak systolic pressure ranged from 42 to 180 mmHg (m = 93) before dilatation and fell from 24 to 105 mmHg (m = 48) immediately after dilatation. The pulmonary valvular peak systolic pressure gradient ranged from 22 to 156 mmHg (m = 73) and fell to 4 to 70 mmHg (m = 27) after the procedure (P less than 0.001). Follow-up continuous doppler data was available from 33 patients at 1 to 37 months (m = 9.2 months) after dilatation. The maximal instantaneous gradient from right ventricle pulmonary artery ranged from 0 to 74 mmHg (m = 27).
