Product Code
Definition
Catheter is used for Percutaneous Transluminal or balloon Valvuloplasty (PTV) of the pulmonary (pulmonic) valve. Used on patients with isolated pulmonary stenosis and also on patients with valvular pulmonary stenosis with other minor congenital heart disease that does not require surgical intervention.
