Tricuspid atresia is a form of congenital heart disease whereby there is a complete absence of the tricuspid valve. [2] Therefore, there is an absence of right atrioventricular connection. [ 2 ] This leads to a hypoplastic (undersized) or absent right ventricle .
The most common heart malformations from genetic or epigenetic problems are: stenosis of the aorta and pulmonary trunk, which is a narrowing of the vessels, atrial and/or ventricular septal defect, tricuspid atresia, and hypoplastic left and right heart syndrome. When an individual has hypoplastic right or left heart syndrome, it means that ...
The symptoms/signs of pulmonary atresia that will occur in babies are consistent with cyanosis, some fatigue and some shortness of breath (eating may be a problem as well). [1] In the case of pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect, decreased pulmonary blood flow may cause associated defects such as: [5] Tricuspid atresia; Tetralogy of ...
Pulmonary stenosis. This is a type of heart valve disease in which the pulmonary artery, the vessel connecting the heart to the lungs, is too narrow or thick. ... Tricuspid atresia. The tricuspid ...
The Fontan Kreutzer procedure is used in pediatric patients who possess only a single functional ventricle, either due to lack of a heart valve (e.g. tricuspid or mitral atresia), an abnormality of the pumping ability of the heart (e.g. hypoplastic left heart syndrome or hypoplastic right heart syndrome), or a complex congenital heart disease where a bi-ventricular repair is impossible or ...
In 1958, William Glenn reported a successful superior vena cava to right pulmonary artery anastomosis (Glenn procedure) for tricuspid atresia in the New England Journal of Medicine. [12] The bidirectional Glenn is a modification where the SVC connects proximally to the bifurcation of the pulmonary arteries. [13]
By the late 2000s, the procedure was employed in situations where the right ventricle is bigger than the left ventricle and the left ventricle connects to the pulmonary artery instead of the aorta; examples include double inlet left ventricle, TGA with tricuspid atresia and TGA with hypoplastic left heart syndrome.
