Balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty effectively treats pulmonary stenosis in 220 patients, significantly reducing the systolic gradient. This procedure offers excellent results and is the preferred treatment for all ages.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Pediatric Cardiology
  • Interventional Cardiology

Context:

  • Experience from two institutions (Bergamo and Massa) in balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty.
  • Study conducted from January 1985 to August 1993.
  • Involves 220 patients aged 1 day to 60 years.

Purpose:

  • To present the experience and outcomes of balloon dilatation of the pulmonary valve.
  • Evaluate the efficacy and safety of balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty.
  • Establish balloon valvuloplasty as a first-choice treatment for pulmonary stenosis.

Summary:

  • Balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty was performed on 220 patients.
  • Systolic gradient decreased from 78 mmHg to 20 mmHg post-procedure (p < 0.001).
  • Low in-hospital mortality (1.3%) and high success rate (95% stable at 4-year follow-up).

Impact:

  • Demonstrates excellent early and intermediate-term results.
  • Supports balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty as the primary treatment for pulmonary stenosis.
  • Highlights the procedure's effectiveness across all age groups.
