Pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum was first described in 1784 by Hunter
Robert M. Freedom- described the diversity of this malformation and emphasized the complexity of this disorder
![Page 3: Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815d9b550346895dcbbf7c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Epidemiology
New England Regional Infant Cardiac Program identified 75 patients with this disorder- 3.1% of all infants enrolled in the study
Baltimore-Washington Infant Study defined the prevalence for this disorder as 0.083 per 1,000 live births
![Page 4: Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815d9b550346895dcbbf7c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Levocardia, normal atrial relations, concordant atrioventricular connections, and concordant ventriculoarterial connections
Right ventricular outflow tract is imperforate.
Either membranous or muscular atresia. The ventricular septum is intact.

Pulmonary blood flow is usually mediated by a PDA
Multiple direct aortopulmonary collaterals originating from the descending thoracic aorta may be the sole sources of pulmonary arterial supply rarely.
Nonconfluent pulmonary arteries, each supplied by a patent arterial duct may also occur rarely.
![Page 7: Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815d9b550346895dcbbf7c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Morphogenesis
Kutsche and Van Mierop theory
Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect occurs earlier in cardiac morphogenesis than pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum.
Pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect occur early in cardiac morphogenesis, after partitioning of the truncoconal part of the heart but before closure of the ventricular septum.
![Page 8: Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815d9b550346895dcbbf7c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum occur after cardiac septation.
Reflects a prenatal inflammatory disease rather than a true congenital malformation

Few data to support an inflammatory process
Histopathological studies provided no evidence of inflammation.
![Page 10: Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815d9b550346895dcbbf7c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Obligatory right-to-left shunt at atrial level-either a patent foramen ovale or true secundum atrial septal defect
If the interatrial septum is intact -alternative pathways for systemic venous return - coronary sinus to left atrial fenestration.
![Page 11: Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815d9b550346895dcbbf7c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Tricuspid Valve
Ranges from extreme stenosis to severe regurgitation
Severely regurgitant valve -dilated annulus.
The valve may exhibit Ebstein anomaly.
Extremely dysplasia also seen.
![Page 12: Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815d9b550346895dcbbf7c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Patients with the largest right ventricles usually have severe tricuspid regurgitation with valves exhibiting features of Ebstein's anomaly and dysplasia.
A major management challenge with a poor overall prognosis.
![Page 13: Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815d9b550346895dcbbf7c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Right Ventricle
Congenital Heart Surgeons Study (CHSS)-the use of the tricuspid diameter Z value
It is the diameter of the tricuspid valve normalized to body surface area.
Data from the CHSS showed that the Z value of the tricuspid valve correlated with the size of the right ventricular cavity (p <0.0001)
![Page 14: Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815d9b550346895dcbbf7c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Well developed RV with hypertrophy-inlet,trabecular and outlet well developed -good prognosis.
Small RV cavity (66%)-poorer surgical outcomes
Markedly increased RV dimensions-severe TR(associated Ebsteins anomaly- 10-15 %)
![Page 16: Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815d9b550346895dcbbf7c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The aortic arch is left sided
Aortic valve stenosis has been described in patients with pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum
![Page 17: Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815d9b550346895dcbbf7c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Myocardial Abnormalities
Ischemia, fibrosis, infarction, and myocardial rupture have been observed
Myocardial disarray and ventricular endocardial fibroelastosis also seen.

Ventricular to coronary artery communications
PA IVS is associated with ventriculo arterial connections(by large sinusoids)
Usually seen in association with hypoplastic RV
Connections are seen to commonly RCA,LAD
(to LCX is rare)
Blood flow
Systole-High pressure RV to sinusoidsDiastole-coronary artery to RV- ‘coronary
steal'
![Page 19: Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815d9b550346895dcbbf7c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Development Coronary circulation develops as isolated
plexus of vessels.
Connections first develop to ventricular cavity and later coronary arteries develop and connect to aorta.
Pulmonary atresia-high RV pressure maintains RV to sinusoids patency

Physical Examination Newborns with pulmonary atresia and
intact ventricular septum become cyanotic and hypoxemic –along with closure of the patent arterial duct
Cyanosis usually is apparent within hours of birth and is progressive
![Page 26: Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815d9b550346895dcbbf7c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The left ventricle may be enlarged, and at the apex, its impulse may be forceful.
The second heart sounds is single.(A2)
A pansystolic murmur may be audible at the left lower sternal border(of tricuspid regurgitation.)
Arterial duct murmur may be heard in the second and third left intercostal space
![Page 27: Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815d9b550346895dcbbf7c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Radiographic Features
The chest radiograph may demonstrate a heart that is only mildly enlarged or one that fills the entire chest cavity

Electrocardiograms were studied in 37 patients with tricuspid atresia and in 20 with pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum.
The results were correlated with
angiocardiographic findings and postmortem examinations
![Page 31: Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815d9b550346895dcbbf7c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Biatrial hypertrophy was noted in 81% of the electrocardiograms in patients with tricuspid atresia, whereas this pattern was seen in only two infants with pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum
![Page 32: Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815d9b550346895dcbbf7c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
In tricuspid atresia, left axis deviation was more common.
Pulmonary atresia - no instances of left axis deviation in the frontal plane.

Management
• PGE1 infusion to maintain ductal patency
• Electively intubated and controlled ventilation
• Metabolic acidosis to be corrected and ionotropic support if perfusion is inadequate
• Adequately stabilized before any initial procedure
![Page 38: Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815d9b550346895dcbbf7c/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Surgical management• Goal is to achieve a two ventricular
circulation with the right ventricle providing all blood flow to the lungs at a low filling pressures without residual right to left shunt
• Goal should be achieved with • low moratality• promoting the growth of RV• minimizing the need for subsequent
surgical procedures
![Page 39: Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815d9b550346895dcbbf7c/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Pulmonary atresia with hypoplastic right
ventricle and coronary sinusoids Attempts to open the RVoutflow tract are
contraindicated.
Systemic-to-pulmonary arterial shunt or prolonged PGE1 infusion is recommended.

Between April 1981 and June 2002, 45 consecutive patients with pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum underwent surgical treatment.
Open transpulmonary valvotomy was performed in 27 patients and Blalock-Taussig shunt in 18 patients as the initial palliative procedure.
Three patients who underwent a successful transpulmonary valvotomy alone in the neonatal period required no further operation.
Definitive repair was performed in 32 patients
![Page 53: Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815d9b550346895dcbbf7c/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
RESULTS There were 1 early and 2 late deaths
before the definitive operation in patients who underwent transpulmonary valvotomy.
Two patients who had coronary artery interruption died 3 months and 13 years after the initial Blalock-Taussig shunt.
There were 1 early and 2 late deaths after the definitive operation.
Survival, including noncardiac death, was 91.1% at 5 years after the initial procedure and 81.5% at 10 years
