as pulmonary valve absence, deformity, perforated chest, excessive leaflets and other congenital valve abnormalities, easy to cause pulmonary insufficiency.
2. Secondary lesions are
often secondary to pulmonary hypertension pulmonary trunk root dilatation, the disease can lead to pulmonary valve annulus enlargement, resulting in pulmonary insufficiency.
