SIMPLE PULMONARY STENOSIS

Simple pulmonary stenosis.

Simple pulmonary stenosis is relatively common. Wood (1950) considers it to account for 12 per cent of cases of congenital heart disease and Campbell (1954) gives the figure of 10 per cent. The two largest series of cases to be reported are those of Abrahams and Wood (1951) 69 cases, and Campbell (1954) 100 cases. This paper deals with a consecutive series of 33 cases. The clinical features are...

Hypertrophic infundibular stenosis complicating simple pulmonary valve stenosis.

Simple pulmonary stenosis; pulmonary valvular stenosis with a closed ventricular septum.

Jimmy appeared to be a normal child and when he was three and had bronchitis his parents were shocked to be told that he had congenital heart disease. He was, however, able to do everything like other boys and seemed so healthy that they thought less and less of this, until when he was about 12 he became more breathless on playing games: he had gradually developed highcoloured cheeks and his fa...

Valvotomy as a curative operation for simple pulmonary stenosis.

The results of valvotomy for simple pulmonary stenosis.

The medical aspects of simple pulmonary stenosis, i.e. valvular stenosis with a closed ventricular septum, have been discussed recently (Campbell, 1954). We wish now to describe the results after pulmonary valvotomy, as we have those after anastomotic and direct operation in Fallot's tetralogy (Campbell and Deuchar, 1953: Campbell, Deuchar, and Brock, 1954). We have carried out the follow-up in...
