Abstract
Congenital pulmonary stenosis (PS) is one of the most
prevalent congenital cardiac abnormalities. A thorough
assessment is needed to determine which of the many
patients born with PS, will need intervention and
further management, and which will only need routine
follow up. Accurate non-invasive assessment of the
severity of the PS at transthoracic echocardiography
is therefore important. This article will discuss and
delineate the diagnostic approach to, and management
of, a patient with congenital PS.
