Bicuspid aortic valves are among the most common but are often symptom-free. A patent ductus arteriosus, atrial septal defects (caused by a persistent foramen ovale) and ventricular defects usually require surgical correction. If the ductus fails to close, pulmonary hypertension results, from the shunting of higher-pressure systemic blood into the pulmonary circulation, and cardiac failure usually follows. Surgical correction is required. Aortic coarctation is congenital narrowing of the aorta in the region of the ductus.

It flows to the rest of the body, but the majority passes via the umbilical arteries to the placenta. The venous return from the rest of the body, and the blood from the placenta in the umbilical vein and the ductus venosus, enters the inferior vena cava. At birth respiration begins and there is a consequent increase in blood flow to the lungs and an increase in venous return in the pulmonary veins. The left atrial pressure therefore rises and results in closure of the foramen ovale. The ductus venosus and ductus arteriosus also close at this time and, in doing so, establish the adult pattern of circulation.
