Overview
Natural History
Complications
- Cyanosis
- Death
- Heart failure
- Leaking of blood back into the right ventricle (pulmonary regurgitation) after repair
- Right ventricular hypertrophy (enlargement)
Prognosis
About one-third of patients with mild stenosis get better, one-third stay the same, and one-third get worse. The outcome is good with successful surgery or balloon dilation. Other congenital heart defects may be a factor in the outlook.
Some valves can last for decades. Others wear out and will need to be replaced.
