Predictors of RV Dysfunction After BPV
Sponsor: Assiut University
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)

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.
