Daughter had pulmonary valve stenosis and the balloon cath was done. she now has a leaky valve after 8 yrs. what is the next step?

See cardiologist: The child needs to be evaluated by a cardiologist. Once a diagnosis has been firmly established, as well as consequences of the situation at this time, then a treatment plan can be organized. This may involve medical management. Or may progress to needing surgery to fix the problem.

RV size?: Pulmonary valve insufficiency is common after surgery or balloon valvuloplasty for pulmonary valve stenosis. The most reliable sign predicting the severity of the insufficiency is the size of the right ventricle. If the right ventricle is normal in size or mildly increased, nothing need be done except follow-up. If the right ventricle becomes severely enlarged, valve replacement is required.
