Isolated congenital pulmonary incompetence: case report and literature review.
Although the literature fails to clearly define the prognosis of isolated congenital pulmonary incompetence (ICPI), there are suggestions that the lesion is not necessarily benign. A case report is presented of pulmonary valve replacement for ICPI which reversed not only symptoms but also electrocardiographic manifestations of right ventricular overload. A literature review is included with the case report.
