Abstract
The goal of this review is to provide information about the causes, consequences, exam, echocardiographic findings, and guideline-based treatment options for pulmonic valve lesions. Balloon pulmonic valvuloplasty and surgical valve replacement are the primary treatment options for hemodynamically significant stenosis and regurgitation, respectively. Transcatheter pulmonic valve replacement has emerged as a treatment option for select native valve lesions or dysfunctional surgical conduits. Symptoms of pulmonic valve disease can be overlooked, and long-term effects on right ventricular function may be irreversible. An understanding of the pathophysiology and treatment of pulmonic disease is important, and consultation with a congenital heart disease specialist is warranted.
