Pulmonary valve cyst in an adult. Case report
WJ Raskoff, S Wagner and JD Hill
A case is described of an asymptomatic woman who had typical findings of
mild pulmonic stenosis. Right heart catheterization revealed a 44 mm. Hg
gradient across the pulmonary outflow tract, and a filling defect was
discovered by angiography. On surgical exploration, the defect was found to
be a benign cyst attached to the anterior leaflet of the pulmonary valve.
