Pulmonary Stenosis.
Balloon valvuloplasty provides optimal treatment for moderate and severe pulmonary valve stenosis. Dysplastic pulmonary valves may not respond to balloon dilation and frequently require surgical treatment. Balloon angioplasty with or without stenting is the preferred treatment of peripheral pulmonary stenosis.
