Since the first pulmonary valvuloplasty report, the procedure has been used frequently, becoming the best option in isolated valvar pulmonary stenosis. Pulmonary valvuloplasty in adults with calcified valvar pulmonary stenosis, however, has been minimal. We have reported the case of a 62-year-old female patient, with calcified valvar pulmonary stenosis, who underwent valvuloplasty with balloon catheter and showed a decrease in the transvalvular systolic gradient, thus proving the success of post procedure.

D011666 Pulmonary Valve Stenosis The pathologic narrowing of the orifice of the PULMONARY VALVE. This lesion restricts blood outflow from the RIGHT VENTRICLE to the PULMONARY ARTERY. When the trileaflet valve is fused into an imperforate membrane, the blockage is complete.

D002404 Catheterization Use or insertion of a tubular device into a duct, blood vessel, hollow organ, or body cavity for injecting or withdrawing fluids for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. It differs from INTUBATION in that the tube here is used to restore or maintain patency in obstructions. Cannulation,Cannulations,Catheterizations

D015641 Radiography, Interventional Diagnostic and therapeutic procedures that are invasive or surgical in nature, and require the expertise of a specially trained radiologist. In general, they are more invasive than diagnostic imaging but less invasive than major surgery. They often involve catheterization, fluoroscopy, or computed tomography. Some examples include percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography, percutaneous transthoracic biopsy, balloon angioplasty, and arterial embolization. Interventional Radiography
