Overview
Tricuspid atresia is a form of congenital heart disease whereby the following defects are seen
- Complete absence of the tricuspid valve
- Absence of right atrioventricular connection.
- Hypoplastic or an absence of the right ventricle.
- For survival of the infant a right-to-left atrial shunt is necessary.
- Repair of this lesion occurs in the first week of life and involves surgical palliation usually in three stages.
Other associated lesions are-
- Ventricular septal defect,
- Pulmonary stenosis
- Transposition of the great arteries.
