What are the symptoms of absent pulmonary valve?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Obvious at birth: Pulmonary valve atresia will render the child blue at birth and the pediatric cardiology team will probably be able to make the call in a very short time. If this has happened to you, i wish you and your child the best of luck; today's surgery helps many of these babies.

Depends: Pulmonary valve atresia causes intense cyanosis and possibly respiratory distress. An absent pulmonary valve (tetralogy of fallot with absent pulmonary valve syndrome) presents with a heart murmur and respiratory distress. They usually have very dilated pulmonary arteries that compress the airways.
