%X <B>BACKGROUND: </B>Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect without major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs) is an uncommon form of congenital heart disease. As more patients with congenital heart disease live to adulthood, the objective of this article was to review the long-term results of this specific population.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>A review of the PubMed database was performed using pertinent key words (pulmonary atresia, tetralogy of Fallot, conduit, right ventricle-pulmonary artery) concentrating on studies from 1990-present and published in English. Most studies of pulmonary atresia-ventricular septal defect patients included those with and without MAPCAs. Analysis included examination of the entire cohort, consideration of the proportion of patients with MAPCAs, and any subgroup analysis of the patients without MAPCAs.<BR><B>RESULTS: </B>Survival is approximately 80% at ten years and is improved with complete repair and larger pulmonary arteries. Some studies have found genetic syndromes and extracardiac anomalies to impact survival, while others have not. Incomplete repair has been shown to be associated with worse survival. Independent of initial management strategy, patients with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defects without MAPCAs require repeat intervention on the right ventricular outflow tract. Hypoplastic pulmonary arteries have been shown to be a risk factor for reintervention, and decreased conduit durability has been shown with younger age at implantation of conduit.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>Long-term outcomes have improved for patients with pulmonary atresia-ventricular septal defect without MAPCAs, with complete repair and adequate pulmonary arteries favorable for survival. Long-term outcomes include reinterventions, both catheter-based and surgical, predominantly on the right ventricular outflow tract.
