Overview
Pathophysiology
Epidemiology and demographics
- While there is no difference in the incidence of Pulmonary atresia in male or female, it is found that pulmonary atresia with VSD ( PA-VSD ) is slightly more prevalent in males than in females. [2][3]
1) The prevalence of Pulmonary Atresia with VSD is estimated to be around 0.07 per 1000 live breath. and 2.5-3.4 % among all congenital heart diseases.[4]
2) The overall incidence of PA-IVSD is under estimated as most of the fetus are spontaneously aborted due to the underlying other congenital malformations or are diagnosed on routine antenatal ultrasound and results in elective termination.
- The reported incidence is 6-8 per 100,000 live births and 1-3% of all congenital heart disease. [5][6]

Differentiating Pulmonary atresia from other Disorders
As Pulmonic valva atresia presents with the signs and symptoms of right ventricular outflow obstruction, it can be confused with the disease with similar presentation. Diagnosis can be made on the basis of Echocardiographic findings. Conditions sharing the pulmonic outflow obstructions are;
1) Tetralogy of Fallot
2) Critical Pulmonary Stenosis
3) Tricuspid Atresia
