Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/131289265
A congenital cardiovascular malformation in which there are normally aligned great arteries, no opening between the morphologically right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk, and no ventricular level communication. Additional information: pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum is a duct-dependent congenital malformation that forms a spectrum of lesions including atresia of the pulmonary valve, a varying degree of right ventricle and tricuspid valve hypoplasia, and anomalies of the coronary circulation. A right ventricular dependent coronary artery circulation is present when coronary artery fistulas are associated with a proximal coronary artery stenosis. Associated Ebstein anomaly of the tricuspid valve can be present.
