Highlights
Pulmonary valve atresia with a ventricular septal defect (VSD) is an extreme form of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF).[3]
pulmonary atresia (PA)-VSD is a cyanotic congenital heart disease characterised by underdevelopment of the right ventricular (RV) outflow tract with atresia of the pulmonary valve, a large VSD, and overriding of the aorta
Unlike PA-VSD, patients with the standard type of TOF with pulmonary atresia have pulmonary arteries that are usually normal in size with normal peripheral pulmonary arborisation
Summary
Pulmonary valve atresia with a VSD is an extreme form of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF).[3]. The best estimates of the relative frequency of PA-VSD are 2.5 - 3.4% of all congenital cardiac malformations.[3,5,6,7] PA-VSD is slightly more prevalent in males than in females.[3]
