✦ Synopsis

Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PAIVS) is a rare type of congenital heart disease. Biventricular surgical repair is considered to be the optimal treatment option as it provides satisfactory results in terms of survival and clinical outcome during the early follow up period. However the long term clinical fellowup studies are limited. In the present study we evaluated the cardiac response to the physical and pharmacological stress using dobutamine stress MRI in children and young adults with PAIVS after biventricular repair.
