Who was the first doctor to discover Pulmonary Valve Stenosis? Also, who was the first doctor to perform surgery for it? Please and thank you for your help.P.S. I have this condition.
1761 - Pulmonary valvar or valvular stenosis is one of the more common forms of congenital heart malformations and it has been extensively studied since the original description of pulmonary valve stenosis by John Baptist Morgagni in 1761. 1888 - Tetralogy of Fallot, first characterized by Dr.Etienne Fallot in 1888, is present in about 3000 children born each year in the United States.
