Abstract
The case of a newborn with “absent pulmonary valve,” atrial septal defect, and patent ductus arteriosus is reported. He underwent surgical repair at five weeks of age, with closure of the patent ductus arteriosus and porcine pulmonary valve insertion. The clinical course leads us to suggest that reduction of pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary valve competence will lead to prompt improvement in tracheobronchial compression and respiratory symptoms; no pulmonary arterioplasty is needed.Keywords
