  Pulmonary atresia is a rare birth defect of the pulmonary valve. Sometimes the pulmonary valve is missing completely; other times the valve is blocked. […] Most babies with pulmonary atresia show symptoms during the first few hours of life. However, in some babies, symptoms do not show up until a few days after birth. […] Symptoms may include: Bluish skin tone (cyanosis), Clammy skin, Fast breathing, Poor feeding, Tiring easily while feeding, Working hard to breathe. […] Pulmonary atresia makes babies look blue (cyanotic) because not enough blood flow to the lungs. […] Initial treatment will focus on keeping the ductus arteriosus open with a medication called prostaglandin to keep blood flowing to the lungs. If the baby does not have a ventricular septal defect or a large atrial communication, a balloon atrial septostomy will be emergently performed. This will allow blood on the right side of the heart to get to the left side of the heart to be pumped out to the body. […] Surgery will be needed to create a way to get blood flow to the lungs. Different options include surgically reconstructing the right ventricular outflow tract.

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/14779-pulmonary-atresia

  Symptoms of pulmonary atresia often appear within the first few hours or days of a baby’s life and may include: […] A bluish tinge to the skin, especially the lips, fingers and toes. […] Breathing problems. […] Fatigue or tiredness. […] Poor feeding. […] Without treatment, pulmonary atresia is fatal because it makes your oxygen level low. However, when your healthcare provider makes a diagnosis before or shortly after your baby’s birth, they can treat your newborn to improve their oxygen circulation. Your baby may need several surgeries at different ages to keep improving their situation. […] Pulmonary atresia life expectancy varies depending on how severe your child’s condition is and other individual factors. Survival rates are better today than they were in previous decades. […] Without having surgery to fix pulmonary atresia with a ventricular septal defect, the survival rate is 50% at age 1 and 8% at 10 years of age. Most people don’t live into their 30s without surgery.

  Pulmonary atresia is a form of heart disease in which the pulmonary valve does not form properly. It is present from birth (congenital heart disease). The pulmonary valve is an opening on the right side of the heart that regulates blood flow from the right ventricle (right side pumping chamber) to the lungs. […] Symptoms most often occur in the first few hours of life, although it may take up to a few days. Symptoms may include: Bluish color to the skin (cyanosis) due to low oxygen level in the blood, Fast breathing, Fatigue, Poor eating habits (babies may get tired while nursing or sweat during feedings), Shortness of breath. […] Most cases can be helped with surgery. How well a baby does depends on: Size and connections of the pulmonary artery (the artery that takes blood to the lungs), How well the heart is beating, How well the other heart valves are formed or how much they are leaking. […] Outcome varies because of the different forms of this defect. A baby may need only a single procedure or could need three or more surgeries and have only a single working ventricle.

  https://www.texasheart.org/heart-health/heart-information-center/topics/pulmonary-atresia/

  The lack of oxygen-rich blood makes the fingers, toes, and lips appear blue, a condition called cyanosis. […] Babies with pulmonary atresia seem normal before birth. This is because a passageway called the ductus arteriosus connects the pulmonary artery to the aorta in the fetal heart. The ductus arteriosus begins to close naturally after birth. In normal babies, a new valve opens that lets blood flow from the right ventricle to the lungs. But in infants with pulmonary atresia, the valve does not open. This means that the only path for blood to reach the lungs will soon begin to close.

  Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect is a rare and complex congenital heart anomaly characterized by the underdevelopment or complete obstruction of the pulmonary valve, preventing blood flow from the right ventricle to the lungs. […] Early detection through fetal ultrasound or postnatal echocardiography is crucial, as untreated cases can lead to severe cyanosis, heart failure, and life-threatening complications. […] The clinical presentation of the PAVSD is highly variable depending on the degree of pulmonary atresia and MAPCAs. Most neonates present with cyanosis and cardiac murmur. Other common symptoms include the following: Central cyanosis may present as bluish discoloration of the face, particularly around the mouth and lips. In severe cases, it may be seen in peripheral limbs as well. Increased respiratory rate or shortness of breath due to poor blood oxygenation. This may not be evident at rest and only at exertion during crying or breastfeeding. Easy fatigability may present as a weak cry, tone loss, and poor breast latching. Failure to thrive and difficulty feeding are also symptoms. […] Without surgical correction, about 50% of patients die within the first 2 years of life, and 20-year survival is around 10%.

• #27 Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect – Wikipedia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_atresia_with_ventricular_septal_defect

  Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect is a rare birth defect characterized by pulmonary valve atresia occurring alongside a defect on the right ventricular outflow tract. The spectrum of symptoms exhibited by children with this condition depends on the severity of the condition, while some barely show symptoms, others might develop complications such as congestive heart failure. In symptomatic children, symptoms become apparent soon after birth, these usually consist of the following: Cyanosis, Breathing difficulties, Feeding difficulties, Exhaustion while being fed, Heart murmur, Excessive daytime sleepiness, Sticky skin. Children with this condition are at a higher risk of developing the following complications: Failure to thrive, Recurrent chest infections, Endocarditis, Epilepsy, Stroke, Arrhythmia, Heart failure, Premature death. Without treatment, it is a highly life-threatening condition, so prognosis is poor. Life expectancy for untreated children with PAVSD is 10 years. Survival rates for untreated people with this defect have been reported to be 50% at the tenth decade and 10% at the twentieth decade, and out of these untreated patients, those who do not have major aortopulmonary arteries have a higher chance of living to their 30s than those who do have them, as the latter have a 40% chance of surviving to the tenth decade and a 20% chance of doing so to the thirtieth decade. Prognosis after surgical intervention is generally good.

• #28 Pulmonary atresia – Wikipedia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_atresia

  The symptoms/signs of pulmonary atresia that will occur in babies are consistent with cyanosis, some fatigue and some shortness of breath (eating may be a problem as well). […] The prognosis for pulmonary atresia varies for every child. If the condition is left uncorrected it may be fatal, but the prognosis has greatly improved over the years for those with pulmonary atresia. Some factors that affect how well the child does include how well the heart is beating and the condition of the blood vessels that supply the heart. Most cases of pulmonary atresia can be helped with surgery. If the patient’s right ventricle is exceptionally small, many surgeries will be needed in order to help stimulate normal circulation of blood to the heart. If uncorrected, babies with this type of congenital heart disease may only survive for the first few days of life. Many children with pulmonary atresia will go on to lead normal lives, though complications such as endocarditis, stroke and seizures are possible.
