This week we review a recent large scale, multicenter study of the Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Society Investigators on outcomes of pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PA/IVS) in the present era. How are patients faring in the present era in comparison to the prior 1-2 decades? What are the most important factors to account for improvements observed in survival? Are there subtypes of PA/IVS that warrant early referral to heart transplantation? What is the best predictor of a better outcome and what percentage of PA/IVS patients ultimately have a 2 ventricle repair? Where are the areas for improvement in the coming decade to improve upon these already, improved outcomes? These are amongst the many questions reviewed in this week's episode with the first author, Dr. Ilias Iliopoulos, who is the director of pediatric cardiac critical care at Inova LJ Murphy Children's Hospital.
