Overview

Guidelines state that in adolescent or young adult patients with pulmonic stenosis, cardiac catheterization is recommended to evaluate the valvular gradient if the Doppler peak jet velocity is greater than 3m persecond, and if balloon dilation can be performed when indicated. Cardiac catheterization is not recommended for the initial evaluation of pulmonic stenosis in the adolescent or the young adult.

2008 and Incorporated 2006 ACC/AHA Guidelines for the Management of Patients with Valvular Heart Disease (DO NOT EDIT) [1]

Evaluation in Adolescents (DO NOT EDIT) [1]

Class I
"1. Cardiac catheterization is recommended in the adolescent or young adult with pulmonic stenosis for evaluation of the valvular gradient if the Doppler peak jet velocity is greater than 3 m per second (estimated peak gradient greater than 36 mm Hg) and balloon dilation can be performed if indicated. (Level of Evidence: C)"
Class III
"1. Diagnostic cardiac catheterization is not recommended for the initial diagnostic evaluation of pulmonic stenosis in adolescent and young adult patients. (Level of Evidence: C)"

2008 ACC / AHA Guidelines for the Management of Adults with Congenital Heart Disease (DO NOT EDIT)[2]

Evaluation of the Unoperated Patient (DO NOT EDIT)[2]

Class III
"1. Cardiac catheterization is unnecessary for diagnosis of valvular PS and should be used only when percutaneous catheter intervention is contemplated.(Level of Evidence: C) "
