Summary
A dysplastic pulmonic valve in hypoplasia of aortic tract complex has not been dealt with in the literature. The recent attempted surgical correction for hypoplasia of aortic tract complex has given some hope of survival in this entity. The integrity of the tricuspid and pulmonic valves is important while considering total surgical correction. We describe three hearts of hypoplasia of aortic tract complex with dysplastic pulmonic valve. The echocardiographic recognition and the significance of the dysplastic nature of the pulmonary valve in the light of surgery are emphasized.
