Dystrophic calcification of the pulmonary valve in a Ostium secundum defect patient requiring valve replacement is a rare occurrence.

In this paper, we report one such patient, a case of Ostium Secundum atrial septal defect with calcific pulmonary valve stenosis in middle age. Infective
endocarditis was the most probable etiology for the calcification of the pulmonary valve. He underwent a pulmonary valve replacement with a bioprosthetic
valve, pericardial patch closure of the atrial septal defect and tricuspid valve annuloplasty. The literature review shows four such reported cases.
