Abstract

Congenital pulmonary valve abnormalities encompass a spectrum of anomalies that result in right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction. Based on the level of obstruction, there are three possible variants: (a) valvular, (b) subvalvular (infundibular stenosis), and (c) supravalvular.
