Pediatric Pulmonary Atresia

Pediatric pulmonary atresia is a congenital heart defect where the pulmonary valve, which allows blood to flow from the right ventricle to the lungs, does not form properly. This condition results in an obstruction of blood flow to the lungs, leading to severe hypoxemia (low blood oxygen levels) and requires prompt medical attention.

Types of Pulmonary Atresia

Pulmonary Atresia with Intact Ventricular Septum (PA/IVS)

Pulmonary Atresia with Ventricular Septal Defect (PA/VSD)

Symptoms

  • Cyanosis: Bluish discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes due to low oxygen levels.
  • Difficulty Breathing: Rapid or labored breathing, especially during feeding or exertion.
  • Poor Feeding and Weight Gain: Infants may have difficulty feeding and fail to gain weight appropriately.
  • Fatigue: Lethargy and reduced activity levels.
  • Heart Murmur: Abnormal heart sounds detected during a physical examination.

Pediatric pulmonary atresia, though a serious congenital heart defect, can be effectively managed with early diagnosis, timely medical and surgical interventions, and regular follow-up care. Advances in medical technology and surgical techniques continue to improve outcomes for affected children.
