This report describes a new balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty technique using the Inoue balloon catheter performed in 14 consecutive adult patients, aged 17-47 years (mean 27). The mean right ventricular systolic pressure and the pulmonary valvular peak-to-peak systolic gradient decreased from 102 +/- 41 to 52 +/- 19 mm Hg (p = 0.001) and 81 +/- 40 to 7 +/- 7 mm Hg (p = 0.0002), respectively. An infundibular peak-to-peak systolic gradient either developed (n = 13) or increased (n = 1). None of the patients were treated with beta-adrenergic blockers before or after the valvuloplasty. Eight patients underwent repeat hemodynamic study 12-30 months (mean 17) after treatment, and had no evidence of valvular restenosis. The mean right ventricular systolic pressure and the mean infundibular peak-to-peak systolic gradient decreased, compared to the values immediately after valvuloplasty (54 to 40 mm Hg, p = 0.03, and 28 to 10 mm Hg, p = 0.03, respectively). The study suggests that pulmonary valvuloplasty in adults using the Inoue balloon catheter technique is feasible, safe, and effective.
