Remarks

In most instances, pulmonic stenosis is a congenital rather than an acquired lesion. Most PS cases are due to valvular rather than sub- or supravalvular stenosis. PS is associated with Noonan and Williams syndromes.

Percutaneous valvuloplasty is the treatment of choice for valvular PS; intervention should be considered when the peak gradient is >50 mm Hg in a symptomatic patient (exertional dyspnea, angina, presyncope or syncope).
