Question
6 year old male present with exertional dyspnea, no cyanosis. Ecg & Echo+clinical exam prove pulm. stenosis. How to follow & manage such case?
Answer
Mild pulmonary stenosis often does not require treatment. Moderate or severe stenosis is treated with repair of the obstructed valve. Several options are currently available.


- balloon dilation or valvuloplasty

- valvotomy


Children who do not require immediate repair may need to receive antibiotics to prevent bacterial endocarditis.
