Tricuspid atresia with absent pulmonary valve: A rare form of single ventricle

Abstract

Tricuspid atresia with an absent pulmonary valve is a rare congenital cardiac defect. Although extensive pathological reviews have been published in the past, there are only a handful of cases that have been successfully palliated to the stage of Fontan. We hereby describe the successful management of one such case and review the surgical strategies described in the literature.

Keywords: congenital cardiac surgery; congenital heart disease; single ventricle; staged palliation; tricuspid atresia with absent pulmonary valve.
