Acute pulmonary oedema following percutaneous balloon pulmonary valvoplasty in children
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 May 2005
Abstract
Pulmonary oedema complicating balloon dilation of the pulmonary valve is extremely rare. We describe two children who developed acute pulmonary oedema soon after successful dilation of the pulmonary valve. They were treated with diuretics, ionotropes, and ventilatory support. Despite the supportive therapy, the complication proved fatal in one.
