Anatomy
- There is hypertrophy of the infundibular muscle causing obstruction. [1]
Historical Perspective
- The pulmonary valve and its function of allowing blood to the lungs for nourishment was first described by Hippocrates. [3]
- Erasistratus, mentioned the function of the pulmonary valve in the unidirectional flow. [4]
- Galen described the membranes of the valves and named them as "semilunar". [5]
- Mondino de Luzzi designed the sketch of the pulmonary valves in the anatomical position for the first time.
- Realdo Colombo described the pulmonary circulation for the first time. [6]
- Aortic stenosis was probably first described by Lazare Riviere (1589-1655), a French physician in 1663. [7]
- The first transcatheter aortic valve replacement procedure in the world was performed on 16 April 2002 in a 57-year-old inoperable patient with severe aortic stenosis. The procedure was done by the Interventional Cardiologist Professor Alain Cribier at the Charles Nicolle University Hospital in Rouen, France. [8]
Classification
Based on the severity of the stenosis
Severity of pulmonary stenosis is classified based on the estimated peak velocity and peak resting gradient calculated using modified Bernoulli equation. It is classified into:[9]
- Mild: Peak velocity less than 3m/s and peak gradient is less than 36 mm Hg.[9]
- Moderate: Peak velocity is 3 to 4m/s and peak gradient is 36 to 64mm Hg.
- According to 2014 AHA/ACC Guideline for the Management of Patients With Valvular Heart Disease, stages of severe pulmonic stenosis are defined as follows: This form of aortic stenosis presents later in life, usually after the age of 75. [10]
| Stage | Definition | Valve Anatomy | Valve Hemodynamics | Hemodynamic Consequences | Symptoms |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C,D | Severe pulmonic stenosis |

- According to 2014 AHA/ACC Guidelines for the Management of Patients With Valvular Heart Disease, progression of valvular heart disease (VHD) are defined as follows:[11]
| Stage | Definition | Description |
|---|---|---|
| A | At risk | Patients with risk factors for development of valvular heart disease |
| B | Progressive | Patients with progressive valvular heart disease (mild-to-moderate severity and asymptomatic) |
| C | Asymptomatic severe | Asymptomatic patients who have the criteria for severe valvular heart disease:
|
| D | Symptomatic severe | Patients who have developed symptoms as a result of valvular heart disease |
Pathophysiology
Pathogenesis
- Pulmonic valve stenosis with fused commisures affect the flexibility of the valve causing obstruction of the outflow tract. In patients with dysplastic valves, the cusps are not fused but they are rigid from intrinsic thickening resulting in the narrowing of the outflow tract. The valve problems develop 5 - 10 years after the rheumatic fever, a tiny nodule forms along the valve leaflets. The degree of leaflet thickening and calcification and the severity of chordal involvement are variable. Rheumatic fever is becoming rare in the United States, so mitral stenosis is also less common. [12]
- These morphological changes affect the complete opening of the pulmonic valve during the ventricular systole causing elevated right ventricular systolic pressures and leading to right ventricular remodelling. [13]
- The obstruction leads to increased pressure overload on the right ventricle as it has to push the blood against resistance. [2]
Clinical Features
- Similar to valvar pulmonic stenosis. [14]
- Aortic stenosis was probably first described by Lazare Riviere (1589-1655), a French physician in 1663. [15] [16]
- No poststenotic dilation of the pulmonary artery in contrast to valvar pulmonic stenosis.
- Aortic stenosis was probably first described by Lazare Riviere (1589-1655), a French physician in 1663. [9]
