Pulmonary artery pressure tracings. (A) baseline pressure trace showing low pressure with poor waveforms. (B) following balloon pulmonary valvotomy, there is increase in the pressure with more distinct waveforms

Figure 3
Simultaneous pressure tracings from right and left ventricle in a child with TOF. Both ventricles have same systolic pressure and similar configuration
