[Percutaneous transluminal valvuloplasty in severe pulmonary stenosis in an aged patient. Presentation of a case].
We report a case of severe pulmonary stenosis in a 74 year old patient who was successfully treated by means of percutaneous transluminal valvuloplasty. This relatively simple technique is extensively used in children. However, its use is considered exceptional in old patients.
