Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PA-IVS) is a rare form of cyanotic congenital heart malformation characterized by severe cyanosis and tachypnea. PA-IVS presents significant morphologic diversity: at the end of the spectrum are patients with a mildly hypoplastic and tripartite right ventricle (RV) and mild tricuspid valve (TV) hypoplasia, and at the other end are patients with severe RV and TV hypoplasia, often with RV-dependent coronary circulation.
Features include: Pulmonary artery atresia and Hypoplastic right heart.
Organ System | Phenotype Count | Example Features |

AI-curated news mentioning pulmonary atresia-intact ventricular septum syndrome
Updated Feb 5, 2026
A new study presents a catheter-based approach for trans-collateral retrograde perforation of the right ventricular outflow tract in patients with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect. This technique may offer a feasible alternative for treating these complex congenital heart defects.
