Hi,
BPV is the treatment of choice for in such cases of pulmonary stenosis. The success rate is very high and as such long term complications are very less if the procedure goes uneventful.
There are chances of restenosis or residual stenosis in 20-3- % cases. But as RA/RV is dilated and RVH is there BPV is recommended.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
