Tricuspid atresia in adults

Abstract

Congenital atresia of the tricuspid valve is still uncommon in adult patients. However, increasingly successful palliative surgery in children now has increased its incidence after age 15 years. This investigation updates the clinical features of this disease in adults in light of modern diagnostic and surgical techniques. The data on all 18 adults with tricuspid atresia having angiography after age 15 years at this institution since 1970 were reviewed. The patients' ages ranged up to 45 years; 12 had had previous palliative surgery. Left cineventriculography, particularly biplane, with the long axial view (60 degrees left anterior oblique with cranial angulation) is the most important diagnostic mode and reveals the ventricular and great vessel relations. According to standard classification, 11 patients had type I anatomy (normal great arterial relations), 4 type II (transposed great arteries) and 2 type III ("corrected transposition of the great arteries"). One patient with inverted ventricles could not be classified. Associated additional congenital defects were uncommon. On the basis of these data, a new anatomic classification of tricuspid atresia is given which encompasses all possible atrial-ventricular-great arterial c...Continue Reading

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.
