SURGERY FOR PULMONARY ATRESIA - A MODERN MARVEL

Here is my attempt to explain the evolution of surgical treatment of pulmonary atresia, one of the most complex and varied congenital cardiac disorders. I have discussed the morphology, pathophysiology and then surgical methods, both palliative and "definitive", describing along the way protocols for overall care in specific situations.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it.
