Question

a newborn is treated for pulmonary valve stenosis; stretching of the valve opening is accomplished via a percutaneous balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty. what is the root operation?

Answer 1

Answer:

dilation

Step-by-step explanation:

When the pulmonary valve does not work properly, it can interfere with blood flow from the heart to the lungs, as well as force the heart to work harder to carry the blood that is needed to the rest of the body. Some children have heart conditions present at the time of birth and may require repair or replacement of the pulmonary valve, this option has a lower risk of infection, preserves the strength and functioning of the valve, and eliminates the need to take medication.
