A case of congenital absence of the pulmonary valve associated with tricuspid atresia and intact ventricular septum is presented. In this case, the presence of a patent ductus arteriosus and absent pulmonary valve allowed the right ventricle to receive blood from the pulmonary artery. The right ventricle, however, represented a blind pouchlike structure which was not an essential part of the circulation.
