Abstract
Abstract Critical pulmonary valvar stenosis causes cyanosis and can lead to potentially lethal in newborn infants. Following initiation of Prostaglandin infusion, percutaneous balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty (BPV) is considered to be the treatment of choice. The percutaneous femoral venous approach is the most preferred route for BPV in most cardiac centers. We present the case of a 5-day-old female infant with critical pulmonary valvar stenosis who successfully underwent BPV through the femoral venous access. The narrowed pulmonary valve was significantly improved after intervention. This was the first case at our center that was undertaken BPV at the earliest postnatal day.
