A 15‐year‐old girl with known Ehlers‐Danlos syndrome (EDS) type IV presented with severe pulmonary valve stenosis requiring intervention. We describe successful pulmonary valvuloplasty using a 90% balloon/annulus angioplasty balloon. The procedure was complicated by early restenosis suggesting an abnormal scarring response in EDS IV.
