Two-dimensional echocardiographic findings of pulmonary valve cyst secondary to pulmonary valvuloplasty.
Real time two-dimensional transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated a mobile echolucent mass attached to the pulmonary valve in a 25-year-old adult, 20 years following balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty. The mass was surgically excised and pathology showed it to be a cyst.
