Overview
Tricuspid atresia is the third most common cyanotic congenital heart disease whether the nonoxygenated blood can not flow from right atrium to right ventricle due to nondevelopment or 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.
