What Are The Modes Of Treatment Available?
The treatment of choice for valvular PS is balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty (BPV). This is a non-surgical method of dilating the valve with the use of a specialised balloon catheter. In less than 5 % of patients, balloon dilatation may not work, in which case surgical relief of stenosis may be required. VALVULAR AORTIC STENOSIS: This refers to a narrowing of the aortic valve. The aortic valve guards the orifice separating the left ventricle from the aorta.
