Intervention with Balloon Valvuloplasty followed by Patent Ductus Arteriosus Stent in a Patient with Pulmonary Atresia with Intact Ventricular Septum

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2005;48(11):1256-1259.   Published online November 15, 2005
Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PAIVS) is rare, less than 1% of congenital heart disease. It needs a therapeutic approach according to its individual morphologic feature. Surgical treatment of valvotomy and modified Blalock-Taussig shunt or non-surgical interventional catheter balloon valvuloplasty can be used for mild to moderate hypoplasia of right ventricle. Fontan operation can be considered for less optimum...

Balloon Valvuloplasty of Pulmonary Stenosis in Patients Younger than 6 Months of Age
Yang Park, Do Jun Cho, Woo Sub Sim, In Seung Park, Eun Jung Bae, Seong Ho Kim

Purpose : Balloon valvuloplasty(BVP) is the treatment of choice for valvular pulmonary stenosis (PS). However, this procedure was usually performed in children older than 2 years. The purpose of the present study was to assess the safety and efficacy of BVP in young infants. Methods : Retrospective analysis of the medical records of 25 infants younger than 6 months of age...

Congenital pulmonary valvular stenosis was relieved by percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty during cardiac catheterization on 8 children aged 14 months to 8 years. Before dilatation, the transpulmonary systolic pressure gradients ranged from 33 mmHg to 79 mmHg (Mean:52.00 ± 18.16 mmHg). There were significant reduction in the transpulmonic systolic pressure gradients immediate after balloon dilatation (Mean:17.38±11.16mmHg). In follow up 4 patients, this decreased pressure gradients have...
Percutaneous Balloon Valvuloplasty in Children with Pulmonary and Aortic Valvular Stenosis.

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1989;32(9):1224-1231.   Published online September 30, 1989
Pulmonary and aortic valvular stenosis were relieved by percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty during cardiac catheterization on 14 children aged 22 months to 18 years. Before dilatation the transpulmonary systolic pressure gradients ranged from 43 mmHg (mean 87. 8 mmHg) in children with pulmonary valvular stenosis. There were significant reduction in the transpulmonary systolic pressure gradient (mean 33.1 mmHg) immediately after balloon valvuloplas- ty except one patient...
Percutaneous Transluminal Balloon Valvuloplasty for Congenital Pulmonary Valve Stenosis.

During the period of 2 years, between January 1986 and December 1987, 36 patients, aged 2 years to 18 years, with congenital pulmonary valve stenosis(PVS) (with peak systolic transvalvar gradient over 30 mmHg) underwent percutaneous transluminal balloon valvuloplasty(TBV) at Sejong General Hospital m Korea. Of a group of 36 patients, 26 were treated successfully by the conventional balloon valve dilatation technique, and 6 were treated...
Percutaneous Balloon Angioplasty in Patients with Congenital Aortic Valvular Stenosis.
Yong Soo Yun, Chang Yee Hong
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1988;31(7):817-821.   Published online July 31, 1988
Aortic valve stenosis was relieved by balloon dilatation during cardiac catheterization on 9 children aged 1 month to 15 years. Aortic valve diameter was estimated by two dimensional echocardiography to assist in the choice of balloon size. Before dilatation the transaortic systolic pressure gradients ranged from 60 mmHg to 177 mmHg, (mean: 91 ±38 mmHg). There were signifeant reduction in the transaortic systolic pressure...
Percutaneous Balloon Angioplasty in Children with Pulmonary Valvular Stenosis.
Yong Soo Yun, Chang Yee Hong
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1987;30(12):1355-1362.   Published online December 31, 1987
Pulmonary valve stenosis was relieved by balloon dilatation during cardiac catheterization on 58 children aged 8 months to 15 years, mean 6.2 years. Pulmonary valve diameter was estimated by two-dimensional echocardiogrphy to assist in the choice of balloon size. Before dilatation the transpulmonary systolic pressure gradients ranged from 15 mmHg to 250 mmHg. There were significant reduction in the transpulmonary systolic pressure gradients immediately after...
