Patient discussions

In general, patients with mild or residual pulmonary stenosis (PS) following intervention do not need to restrict physical activities. Patients with moderate PS should avoid high-intensity exercise and static sports such as climbing or gymnastics. Patients with severe PS should participate in low-intensity exercise only.[15]

Transition from paediatric to adult care warrants development of a healthcare transition programme. This should emphasise the importance of patient self-management, support patients in improving their medical knowledge, and be sensitive to the presence of intellectual disability, mental health conditions, or other comorbidities.[25]
