title: Perventricular pulmonary valvuloplasty under echocardiographic guidance.
abstract: We report the case of a small neonate with a complex congenital heart disease who successfully underwent a perventricular pulmonary valvuloplasty during the early postoperative period, using echocardiographic guidance alone without fluoroscopy. We describe the technique and the advantages of this novel procedure.
