Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum and systemic-pulmonary collateral arteries

Ann Thorac Surg. 2002 Apr;73(4):1322-4. doi: 10.1016/s0003-4975(01)03277-5.

Abstract

Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum and major systemic-pulmonary collateral arteries is a very rare congenital heart lesion with dismal natural history. Herein we report on a case of pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum with hypoplastic right ventricle, very small confluent pulmonary arteries, absent arterial duct, and pulmonary blood flow exclusively provided by bronchial-type systemic-pulmonary collateral arteries that was successfully treated at our institution.
