Images in cardiovascular medicine. Himalayan P-waves in a patient with tricuspid atresia.
An 8-month-old female infant was diagnosed with tricuspid atresia in utero by an ultrasound and the diagnosis was confirmed at birth. She underwent a modified Blalock-Tausig shunt at the age of 2 months to treat increasing cyanosis. She did well and is waiting to complete single ventricle palliation. On her recent follow-up, she was asymptomatic, with a systemic arterial saturation of 80% at ro...
متن کاملTricuspid Atresia
Left ventricular dimensions and contractility were determined by echocardiography in 33 patients with tricuspid atresia in 1985 and again in 1988. Eight patients remained palliated throughout the 3-year period; neither the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (153±15% of normal vs. 157+19%o, p=NS) nor a load-independent index of contractility (rate-corrected velocity of shortening [VCFc]/end...
متن کاملTricuspid atresia with I-transposition.
Sir, In their recent article (1987;57:543-7) on tricuspid atresia with transposition of the great arteries Warnes and Somerville emphasised the inportance of subaortic stenosis in these patients, especially those with coarctation. They suggested that the Fontan procedure was the procedure of choice in these patients but remarked that in patients with subaortic stenosis the prognosis after Fonta...
متن کاملTwo Heterozygous Mutations in NFATC1 in a Patient with Tricuspid Atresia
Tricuspid Atresia (TA) is a rare form of congenital heart disease (CHD) with usually poor prognosis in humans. It presents as a complete absence of the right atrio-ventricular connection secured normally by the tricuspid valve. Defects in the tricuspid valve are so far not associated with any genetic locus, although mutations in numerous genes were linked to multiple forms of congenital heart d...
متن کاملTricuspid Atresia Presenting in Infancy
Background. The Fontan operation is the usual goal of therapy for children with tricuspid atresia. The influences of morphology and different management strategies on survival and subsequent suitability for this procedure are crucial but unstudied in an unselected population during the Fontan era. Methods and Results. The fates of 237 consecutive infants with tricuspid atresia were reviewed (19...
