Nowadays, percutaneous pulmonary valve treatment is a hot topic in valvular heart disease, consisting of percutaneous balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty and percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI). The percutaneous balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty is the prime intervention of pulmonary valve stenosis. The main indication of PPVI is pulmonary valve regurgitation and/or obstruction. PPVI is still the research focus, with the improvement of surgical indications and the development of surgical devices. However, compared with surgical pulmonary valve replacement, it still has limitations. This article reviews the treatment progress of percutaneous pulmonary valve treatment, especially PPVI.
