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. Tricuspid atresia occurs during prenatal development. In tricuspid atresia, there is no continuity between the right atrium and right ventricle. Inferior vena cava and superior vena cava collect venous nonoxygenated blood into the right atrium. Through atrial septal defect (ASD), blood come into the left atrium, then left ventricle andaorta.This blood is a mixture of saturated and unsaturated O2. If there is a ventricular septal defect (VSD), this mixed blood in the left ventricle flows into the right ventricle, then via pulmonary artery reaches pulmonary bed and becomes oxygenated, then returns back into the left atrium viapulmonary veins. In diminished pulmonary blood flow whether the flow is dependent on patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), the mixed-blood in aorta flows from this passage intopulmonary artery and pulmonary bed. In the presence of normal positioning of great arteries, cyanosis is more prominent and is affected by the size of VSD. Transpositioning great arteries (TGA) and subaortic stenosis are other associated anomalies.
Historical Perspective
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.
Classification
Pathophysiology
Tricuspid atresia occurs during prenatal development. In tricuspid atresia, there is no continuity between the right atrium and right ventricle. Inferior vena cava and superior vena cava collect venous nonoxygenated blood into the right atrium. Through atrial septal defect (ASD), blood come into the left atrium, then left ventricle andaorta.This blood is a mixture of saturated and unsaturated O2. If there is a ventricular septal defect (VSD), this mixed blood in the left ventricle flows into the right ventricle, then via pulmonary artery reaches pulmonary bed and becomes oxygenated, then returns back into the left atrium viapulmonary veins. In diminished pulmonary blood flow whether the flow is dependent on patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), the mixed-blood in aorta flows from this passage intopulmonary artery and pulmonary bed. In the presence of normal positioning of great arteries, cyanosis is more prominent and is affected by the size of VSD. Transpositioning great arteries (TGA) and subaortic stenosis are other associated anomalies.
