Background: The purpose of this study is to report our experience regarding the acute and intermediate-term results of balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty (BPV) in various types of congenital pulmonary valve stenosis. Methods and Results: Twenty-four consecutive patients with a median age of 6.6 years (ranging from I month to 24 years old) underwent BPV between January 1988 and September 1991. These patients were divided into 2 groups; Group I consisting of 13 patients with isolated pulmonary valve stenosis, and Group 2 consisting of 11 patients with complicated pulmonary valve stenosis (supravalvular, subvalvular, valved conduit and post-right ventricular outflow reconstruction). Mean peak systolic pressure gradients from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery were as follows: In group 1, 48±21 (mean±SD) mmHg before BPV, 18±8 mmHg immediately after BPV and 13±5 mmHg at the longest follow-up based on catheterization or Doppler echocardiographic studies. The gradients in group 2 were 65±28 mmHg before BPV, 46±25 mmHg immediately after BPV and 47±21 mmHg at the longest follow-up. Conclusions: BPV provides both acute and intermediate-term gradient relief in patients with isolated pulmonary valve stenosis. In complicated pulmonary valve stenosis, on the other hand, the effect of BPV was unsatisfactory and appears to depend on the mechanism of associated obstruction. Therefore accurate evaluation of the anatomy of associated obstruction in the pulmonary valve region is needed to determine that BPV is indicated.
