Abstract
Background: Most patients with pulmonic stenosis have benign disease. While problems and new-onset symptoms in adults are usually non-life-threatening following the newborn period, they might occur in adults and necessitate attention. This activity explains how to diagnose and treat pulmonic stenosis, as well as the importance of the healthcare team in providing better care to patients with this illness.
Conclusion: The goal of this review article is to describe the pathophysiology of pulmonic stenosis, review the common presentation of a patient with pulmonic stenosis, identify treatment considerations and common complications of interventions for patients with pulmonic stenosis, and explain the importance of improving interprofessional care coordination to improve outcomes for patients with pulmonic stenosis.
Keywords: Tetralogy of Fallot, pulmonary stenosis, pulmonary valve, sub-valvar stenosis, congenital heart disease
