Pediatric Pulmonary Atresia

Pulmonary atresia (PA) is a heart defect that occurs due to abnormal development of the fetal heart during the first eight weeks of pregnancy. Pulmonary atresia means that there is an abnormal development of the pulmonary valve. The pulmonary valve is found between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery, which is the large artery that goes to the lungs. It has three leaflets that function like a one-way door, allowing blood to flow forward into pulmonary artery and to the lungs, but not backward into the right ventricle. With pulmonary atresia, problems with the valve prevent the leaflets from opening; therefore, blood cannot flow forward from the right ventricle to the lungs.
