title: Effects of pulmonary balloon valvuloplasty on right coronary artery blood flow in pulmonary valve stenosis.
abstract: Pulmonary balloon valvuloplasty results in improvement in the right coronary artery blood flow velocity pattern and the volumetric flow in patients with pulmonary valve stenosis. These changes are closely related to concomitant changes in right ventricular systolic pressure.
