Quick Summary:

Pulmonary Valve Atresia (or Pulmonary Atresia) is a critical congenital defect of the pulmonary valve that is located between one of the heart chambers and the pulmonary artery. This valve is not fully developed in Pulmonary Atresia resulting in improper oxygenation of blood
Pulmonary Atresia commonly leads to breathing difficulties, blush discoloration of the skin, irritable and lethargic babies. Due to this condition, severe complications such as stroke, seizure, or heart failure, and even a delayed development and growth may occur
Surgical repair or replacement of the pulmonary valve is the most effective treatment option available for Pulmonary Atresia. However, the prognosis depends on many factors and can vary from one child to the other
