Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Congenital pulmonic stenosis (PS) rarely presents in patients over the age of 55 years. A stable asymptomatic course into late adulthood is the usual history of mild to moderate PS. Balloon valvuloplasty has become the procedure of choice for congenital PS, especially in children and young adults. There are rare reports of its use in older adults. Significant valve calcium is believed to limit its success. We present a case of a 77-year-old woman with symptomatic congenital PS and severe valve calcium who underwent successful balloon valvuloplasty. |
