Overview
Tricuspid atresia is the fourth most common cyanotic congenital heart disease after tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of the great arteries (TGA), and hypoplastic left heart syndrome, whether the nonoxygenated blood can not flow from right atrium to right ventricle due to nondevelopment or total agenesia of the tricuspid valve. The right ventricle is small and the pulmonary artery in some cases is hypoplastic. Atrial septal defect (ASD) or patent foramen oval (PFO) is necessary for passing the blood from the right atrium to the left system and without them, the infants will not survive. The majority of infants die without palliative surgery. Tricuspid atresia was first discovered by Friedrich Ludwig kreysig in 1817, a German physician who found the obstruction between the right atrium and right ventricle in the autopsy of cyanotic infants.The classic term of tricuspid atresia was used firstly by schuberg in 1861.
