Pulmonary atresia (PA) with ventricluar septal defect(VSD) is a complex congenital heart disease. The lack of knowledge on embryology, anatomy and pathophysiology of this disease with or without heterogenetic major aortopulmonary collateral arteries(MAPCA)leads to chaos of its surgical classification and management as well as poor results of surgical management. The operative technique in this field has been advancing a lot since the innovation of unifocalization. The surgical result is getting better and better, boosted by the updating of the principle and knowledge, but there is still a large room for progress. We reviewed the literatures on classification,surgical strategy, procedures and operationrelated issues and put them together here to delineate its past, present and future.
