Abstract
Development of infundibular stenosis following percutaneous balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty can cancel the effects of the valvuloplasty. We report on the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in a baby who developed marked right ventricular outflow track obstruction after valvuloplasty. MRI showed myocardial hypertrophy in the infundibular region, excluding the need for urgent surgical intervention.
