Pulmonary Atresia with intact ventricular septum is a congenital heart condition (a problem that a baby is born with). As the heart forms, the pulmonary valve at the base of the lung artery (pulmonary artery) does not develop and the right ventricle does not develop normally and is often small (hypoplastic).
These defects mean that little or no blue (deoxygenated) blood passes through the lung artery to the lungs. If blood is unable to pass to the lungs via the right side of the heart it will pass through a hole (atrial septal defect) between the right and left collecting chambers (atria) into the left side of the heart where it mixes with red (oxygenated) blood and passes into the body artery (aorta).
Some blood will then flow to the body and some will pass to the lungs via the connection (patent ductus arteriosus) between the body artery and the lung artery.
We hope this video helps you to understand how a heart that has Pulmonary Atresia with intact ventricular septum works.
