Management of absent pulmonary valve syndrome with patent ductus arteriosus

J Card Surg. 1993 Mar;8(2):148-55. doi: 10.1111/j.1540-8191.1993.tb00365.x.

Abstract

The etiology of absent pulmonary valve syndrome is unknown. Several theories have been advanced to explain the associated findings of a rudimentary pulmonary valve, ventricular septal defect, aneurysmal pulmonary arteries, and absence of the ductus arteriosus. The patient presented here would contradict these currently held theories. A review of the literature follows the case report.
