Predictors of RV Dysfunction After BPV
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
pulmonary valvuloplasty: Pulmonary balloon valvuloplasty (PBV) is the treatment of choice for moderate to severe valvular pulmonary stenosis. It is a minimally invasive, catheter-based intervention that involves dilation of the stenotic pulmonary valve using an appropriately sized balloon. The goal is to relieve obstruction, reduce right ventricular pressure, and prevent long-term complications such as RV hypertrophy, dysfunction, and arrhythmias. The procedure has shown excellent immediate and long-term outcomes, particularly in patients with a pliable, doming pulmonary valve and no significant regurgitation or associated congenital lesions.
Study summary
This aim focuses on :
Assessing how common RV dysfunction is post-procedure Evaluating RV function changes over time (e.g., TAPSE, FAC, RV strain if available) Identifying risk factors or predictors (e.g., high residual gradient, severe PR, age at intervention)
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)

- Change in estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure PASP after PBV — Baseline, 72 hours post-procedure, and 6 months follow-up.
- Change in TAPSE after PBV — Baseline, 72 hours post-procedure, and 12 months follow-up
