text: Instead, some blood may reach the lungs via a temporary connection (ductus arteriosus) between a baby's aorta and the pulmonary artery.
text: If there is no pulmonary valve or if it is blocked, blood cannot flow through the pulmonary artery to reach the lungs, where it receives oxygen.
text: While the ductus arteriosus remains open, some oxygen-poor blood is still able to reach the lungs.
text: In a newborn, blood can reach the lungs to pick up oxygen as long as a connection between the aorta and pulmonary artery called the ductus arteriosus remains open.
text: If a ventricular septal defect is present and the great arteries are in their normally related position, blood from the left ventricle can reach the lungs through the ventricular septal defect.
text: Finally, if there is transposition of the great arteries, blood reaches the lungs easily because the pulmonary artery is directly connected to the left ventricle.
text: If there is severe narrowing at the pulmonary valve, the only way blood can reach the lungs is through a patent ductus arteriosus (6).
text: This impure deoxygenated blood flows from the right ventricle via the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary artery and reaches the lungs.
text: Thus in pulmonary atresia, the impure blood from the right ventricle is unable to reach the lungs to be purified, and as a result, the tissues of the body suffer from lack of oxygen.
text: A rigid tube (stent) placed in the ductus arteriosus (which normally closes after birth) keeps it open and allows blood to reach the lungs.
text: In tricuspid atresia, they remain open allowing blood to flow through the heart and reach the lungs.
text: As a result, some blood can reach the lungs and get oxygen.
text: When a child has PA, and the ductus arteriosus closes, no blood reaches the lungs to get oxygen.
