Pulmonary Valve Stenosis

Pulmonary Valve Stenosis

Your Partner in Pulmonary Valve Stenosis Treatment

Restoring normal blood flow to your lungs is critical. The cardiovascular experts at Emory Heart & Vascular offer a full range of medical and surgical therapies. They will work with you to identify the best treatment for you.

Pulmonary Valve Stenosis Treatments

  • Balloon valvuloplastyThis treatment uses a tiny balloon attached to a thin tube called a catheter. Our specialist places the balloon into your narrowed valve. They inflate it to widen the valve and improve blood flow.
  • Pulmonary valve repair and replacement: Our specialists surgically repair or replace your pulmonary valve.
  • Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR): This minimally invasive procedure is not open surgery. Our specialists can replace the pulmonary valve without open heart surgery in certain patients.

Pulmonary Valve Regurgitation Treatments

  • Medication
  • Pulmonary valve replacement: Our specialists can replace your pulmonary valve with a new biological or artificial one. These replacements can improve your blood flow.
  • Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR): This minimally invasive procedure is not open surgery.
Pulmonary valve stenosis and regurgitation limit blood flow to your lungs. In pulmonary valve stenosis, your pulmonary valve stiffens and narrows. With pulmonary valve regurgitation, your pulmonary valve doesn’t close completely. As a result, blood leaks back toward your heart.
