  • Title: Tricuspid atresia with absent pulmonary valve and intact ventricular septum: a rare association.
    Author: Best TH, Vyas HV, Jaquiss RD, Sachdeva R.
    Journal: Congenit Heart Dis; 2011; 6(4):393-6. PubMed ID: 21392265.
    Abstract:
    The absence of the pulmonary valve in connection with tricuspid atresia and intact ventricular septum is a rare malformation, associated with a poor prognosis. The right ventricle is severely hypertrophied, resembling a cardiac mass protruding into the left ventricular outflow tract. We report such a case that underwent successful palliation with a Blalock-Taussig shunt followed by a superior cavopulmonary anastomosis.
