Pulmonary balloon dilation has almost replaced surgical therapy. After this intervention the restenosis rate might seen as 6-6.7%. In this study, we report a case with pulmonary restenosis. He had been performed a pulmonary balloon dilatation 2 years ago at another health facility with a diagnosis of supravalvular pulmonary stenosis. His complaints recurred after this intervention. He was investigated and a pulmonary restenosis with a peak pressure gradient of 133 mm Hg was found out. He underwent a successful surgical repair and we report this surgical internvention under the light of literature.
