[Pulmonary valve atresia with intact interventricular septum in the grown child and the adult].
Atresia of the pulmonary valve with an intact interventricular septum is a rare cyanotic congenital cardiac malformation. Rare at birth, it is exceptionally rare for cases to survive over 5 years. Three cases of porlonged survival aged eleven nineteen and thirty-four years are reported. In the latter case, the abnormality was probably aquired. Prolonged survival is related to a collateral pulmonary circulation. Surgical treatment is discussed with respect to the anatomical features. Good results were obtained in the two operated cases.
