Abstract Objective: Evaluate long‐term outcomes following balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty
(BPV) for pulmonary stenosis (PS).
Background: Long‐term data following BPV is limited to small, single center studies.
Methods: BPV from April 12, 1985 to January 7, 2015 from three centers were
included. Outcomes studied were ≥ moderate PI by echocardiogram and residual
PS ≥ 40 mm Hg. Risk factors for ≥ moderate PI, residual PS, and repeat intervention
were assessed by univariate and multivariate analysis.
Results: Among 254 patients, mean age at BPV was 3.8 years (range 1 day‐67
years), initial PS catheter gradient was 56 mm Hg (IQR 40‐70), 19% had… More >
