Pulmonary Atresia With Ventricular Septal Defect: Follow-up
Updated: Mar 10, 2009
Outcome and Prognosis
Patients may require repeated surgeries for a complete repair of pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect (PA-VSD). Educate family members regarding congenital heart disease and how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Genetic counseling for future pregnancies is necessary.
