Abstract
Pulmonary atresia (PA) with ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a rare congenital heart disease. Blood flow to pulmonary arteries is provided by patent ductus arteriosus or major aorto-pulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs). Palliative interventions are required to maintain the blood supply to the pulmonary arteries in order to achieve for the complete surgical repair. In this case report, we present a patient who underwent pulmonary valve perforation and right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) stenting as an alternative to a systemic-pulmonary artery shunt (SPS). Subsequently, surgical repair was performed ten months later.
