چکیده

We report on a premature neonate who presented with cyanosis soon after birth. She was found on echocardiography to have an unguarded tricuspid valve orifice associated with pulmonary valve atresia and an intact interventricular septum. Owing to the small-sized pulmonary arteries, she was initially managed conservatively with prostaglandin infusion, and at one year of age underwent a successful bidirectional cavo-pulmonary (Glenn) shunt operation.

Congenitally Unguarded Tricuspid Orifice with Coexistent Pulmonary Atresia.

AGENESIS of the tricu.spid valve may occur in two forms: (1) tricuspid atresia and (2) "tunguarded tricuspid orifice." In the latter, althouigh the normal orifice between the right atritum and right ventricle exists, there is no tricuspid valvtular tissue. The purpose of this report is to describe the clinical, radiologic, and pathologic findings of suich a case in which ptulmonary atresia coex...

CASE REPORT Unguarded tricuspid orifice with pulmonary atresia: successful radiofrequency ablation of an accessory pathway in an infant

A male infant with the rare lesion of unguarded tricuspid orifice in the setting of pulmonary valve atresia, intact ventricular septum, and a hypoplastic right ventricle is described. The patient presented with cyanosis at 1 day old; transcutaneous oxygen saturations were between 20% and 30% in room air, and 60% in 100% inspired oxygen. Pre-excitation was found incidentally on the ECG and the p...

Angio-pathological appearances of pulmonary valve in pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum. Interpretation of nature of right ventricle from pulmonary angiography.

Correlative angiographic-anatomical studies in 19 cases of pulmonary atresia with infarct ventricular septum showed the following relations between the angiographic appearance of the pulmonary valve and the morphology of the right ventricle. (1) Doming of the pulmonary valve was associated with a nearly normal-sized right ventricle and a wide infundibulum patent to the level of the pulmonary va...

Echocardiographic assessment of neonates with pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum.

In this prospective study, 27 consecutive neonates suspected to be suffering from pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum underwent detailed two-dimensional echocardiographic examination before cardiac catheterization. Of the 27 neonates 25 had pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum and the remaining 2 had "functional pulmonary atresia" secondary to severe Ebstein's anomaly of ...
