 | | Tricuspid atresia is a type of congenital heart disease in which the valve between the right atrium and right ventricle fails to develop. | | | The results of this staged approach to the child with tricuspid atresia are generally good, with an expected survival of all three stages of 75 percent to 95 percent depending on the exact malformations and surgery for any given individual. | | | If the problem is too much pulmonary blood flow (tricuspid atresia with a large ventricular septal defect), blood flow to the lungs will usually need to be limited to protect the lungs from becoming damaged from too much blood flow. |

| Â | Valve Disease: Tricuspid Valve Disease |
| | Tricuspid valve repair using an annuloplasty ring is the preferred surgical approach for tricuspid regurgitation and may be performed for primary tricuspid disease or for combined cases with other valve surgery (mitral, aortic). | | | Tricuspid stenosis - the valve leaflets are stiff and do not open widely enough, causing a restriction in the forward flow of blood. | | | Tricuspid valve disease, if caused by rheumatic fever, is often combined with mitral and/or aortic valve disease. |

| Â | Tricuspid Atresia and Fontan Operation - TA : Heart Disease : Heart Disease Online |
| | Triscupid Atresia is a condition where the TRICUSPID VALVE, which guards the junction between the right atrium and the right ventricle, is either ABSENT or is IMPERFORATE - that is, it does not have an opening to allow blood flow across it. | | | There are many ways the valve can be imperforate - the leaflets of the valve may be formed but tightly stuck to each other, or may not be formed at all, with muscle tissue of the heart forming a wall where the valve should have been. | | | You have now graduated to being able to read about a complicated condition like tricuspid atresia and the Fontan principle. |

| | The tricuspid valve's three leaflets and related structures become stiff, develop scar tissue, or partially fuse together. | | | Tricuspid valve stenosis is most often due to injury to the leaflets caused by medications or rheumatic heart valve disease. | | | Eventually, tricuspid valve stenosis can damage the heart muscle and can cause irregular heartbeats and possibly heart failure or other complications, including stroke or heart infection. |

| | Surgery to repair or replace the tricuspid valve( heart valve surgery) may be needed. | | | Tricuspid regurgitation is a disorder involving backward flow of blood across the tricuspid valve which separates the right ventricle (lower heart chamber) from the right atrium (upper heart chamber). | | | The most common cause of tricuspid regurgitation is not damage to the valve itself, but enlargement of the right ventricle, which may be a complication of any disorder that causes failure of the right ventricle. |

| Â | Valve stenosis |
| | Tricuspid valve stenosis is similar to mitral valve stenosis except that the pressure and volume changes occur on the right side of the heart. | | | Stenosis of either atrioventricular valves (tricuspid, mitral) or outflow tract valves (pulmonic, aortic) leads to a pressure gradient across the valve during the time blood is flowing through the valve opening. | | | Aortic valve stenosis is characterized by the left ventricular pressure being much greater than aortic pressure during left ventricular ejection (shaded gray in figure). |

| Â | eMedicine - Tricuspid Atresia : Article by P Syamasundar Rao, MD |
| | Whether a muscular type of tricuspid atresia develops or well-formed but fused tricuspid valve leaflets develop depends on the stage of development at which the embryologic aberration takes place. | | | Tricuspid atresia is classified according to valve morphology, radiographic appearance of pulmonary vascular markings, and associated cardiac defects. | | | This debate is summarized in a 1990 issue of The American Journal of Cardiology, in which Rao offered strong evidence and arguments from the data collected by Bharati, Wenink and Ottenkamp, Gessner, and Rao to support tricuspid atresia as the correct and logical term to describe this well-characterized pathologic and clinical condition. |

| | In a normal body, unoxygenated blood flows into the right atrium, then through the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle and on to the lungs. | | | Tricuspid atresia is a type of congenital heart disease in which blood is unable to flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle because the tricuspid valve is missing or abnormally developed. | | | If the tricuspid valve is absent or malformed, blood cannot pass from the right atrium to the right ventricle and therefore cannot enter the lungs to be oxygenated. |

| | Those with tricuspid regurgitation as a result of rheumatic fever benefit from surgery to the valve only if there is no accompanying pulmonary hypertension. | | | Prolapse - inward collapse - of the tricuspid valve, carcinoid heart disease, infective endocarditis (infection of the valves) and trauma can also produce tricuspid regurgitation. | | | Tricuspid regurgitation is usually what is called functional, that is it has arisen because the right ventricle is enlarged, physically pulling the valve leaflets apart so that they cannot close properly during the cycle of the heartbeat. |

| | Of 206 abnormal valves, 21 showed a spectrum from tricuspid to quadricuspid: 9 were quadricuspid, 7 were tricuspid with a raphe (ridge) in the right pulmonary sinus (space behind the cusp) and fusion of the dorsal commissure (opposite the aortic valve), and 5 were tricuspid with a raphe in the right sinus. | | | This condition is thought to result from partial division of the right valve cushion very early in its development. | | | None of the valves, however, resembled that seen in our patient [2]. |

| | Abnormal development of the tricuspid valve, such that there is no communication between the right atrium and right ventricle is called tricuspid atresia. | | | When the tricuspid valve is atretic it prevents any blood flow to the right ventricle resulting in atresia (lack of development) of the right ventricle and pulmonary valve. | | | The pathway from each atrium to ventricle is guarded by a valve which is a doorway, which would allow blood passage in one way and prevent it from going backwards. |
