Anatomic variations in underdeveloped right ventricle related to tricuspid atresia and stenosis

Familial pulmonary stenosis with underdeveloped or normal right ventricle.

A family with 3 cases of pulmonary stenosis with underdeveloped or normal right ventricle is described. In the family there have also been some spontaneous abortions and many infant deaths, and it seems possible that these were also related to congenital cardiac abnormalities. Recognized syndromes with pulmonary stenosis and reports on familial occurrence of this malformation are reviewed. The ...

Left to right atrial shunting in tricuspid atresia.

In tricuspid atresia, an obligatory right to left shunt occurs at the atrial level. We have observed several patients with left to right interatrial shunts. Data from cardiac catheterisation in 40 consecutive patients were reviewed to determine the frequency and mechanism of left to right shunting in tricuspid atresia. An increase of 6% or more in oxygen saturation between the superior vena cav...
