  • Pulmonary atresia is when this valve didn't form at all, and no blood can go from the right ventricle of the heart out to the lungs. (cdc.gov)
  • Because a baby with pulmonary atresia may need surgery or other procedures soon after birth, this birth defect is considered a critical congenital heart defect (critical CHD). (cdc.gov)
  • In babies with pulmonary atresia, the pulmonary valve that usually controls the blood flowing through the pulmonary artery is not formed, so blood is unable to get directly from the right ventricle to the lungs. (cdc.gov)
  • In pulmonary atresia, since blood cannot directly flow from the right ventricle of the heart out to the pulmonary artery, blood must use other routes to bypass the unformed pulmonary valve. (cdc.gov)
  • In this form of pulmonary atresia, the wall, or septum, between the ventricles remains complete and intact. (cdc.gov)
  • In this form of pulmonary atresia, a ventricular septal defect (VSD) allows blood to flow into and out of the right ventricle (RV). (cdc.gov)
  • Therefore, blood flowing into the RV can help the ventricle develop during pregnancy, so it is typically not as small as in pulmonary atresia with an intact ventricular septum. (cdc.gov)
