Extract

CRITICAL STENOSIS OF BOTH PULMONARY AND AORTIC valves is an exceedingly rare congenital combination.1−3 In recent years, balloon dilation of these valves in isolation has been reported with good results in children, infants and even newborns.4−6 We now report successful concurrent percutaneous balloon dilation for severe congenital pulmonary and aortic valvar stenosis in an 18-month-old child.
