Blood returning to the right atrium from the vena cavae and coronary sinus reach the left atrium through an atrial septal defect. This blood passes through the left ventricle and can reach the right ventricle if there is an associated ventricular septal defect. In the absence of ventricular septal defect, the pulmonary blood flow is provided by a patent ductus arteriosus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pulmonary atresia with intact interventricular septum<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum, there is an obligatory R\u2192L shunt at atrial level because right ventricle has no outflow. Right ventricular cavity can either be diminutive or sizable with significant tricuspid regurgitation. Pulmonary blood flow is through a patent ductus arteriosus and major aortopulmonary collateral (<a href=\"https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/professional\/mapca-from-right-internal-mammary-artery-rima-2\/\">MAPCA<\/a>s). Vigorous flap like movement of the primum portion of the interatrial septum has been described in a case of hypoplastic right heart with intact interventricular septum, pulmonary atresia, secundum atrial septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus\u00a0[1].
