Background
- A cyanotic congenital heart defect
- Absence of tricuspid valve resulting in abscess of communication between the RA and RV
- Associated cardiac lesions
- ASD (100%)
- Right ventricular hypoplasia (100%)
- VSD (95%)
- Pulmonary outflow obstruction (75%)
- Transposition of the great arteries (28%)
- Third most common cyanotic congenital heart disease [1]
Physiology
- Blood from the RA must exit through the ASD (there’s no tricuspid valve)
- Right to left atrial shunting allows deoxygenated systemic venous blood to enter the LA, then LV
- Cyanosis is present given mixing of systemic and pulmonary venous blood in the LA
Clinical Features
- 50% present on the first day of life, additional 30% present by 1 month of age
- Central cyanosis is the most notable feature on physical exam
- Holosystolic murmur at left lower sternal border if a VSD is present
- Continuous murmur if there is a PDA
- Jugular venous distention and prominent “a” wave and hepatomegaly if there is a restrictive atrial level communication
- Tachypnea may be present in patients with unrestrictive pulmonary blood flow
Differential Diagnosis
Congenital Heart Disease Types
- Cyanotic
- Acyanotic
- AV canal defect
- Atrial septal defect (ASD)
- Ventricular septal defect (VSD)
- Cor triatriatum
- Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA)
- Pulmonary/aortic stenosis
- Coarctation of the aorta
- Differentiation by pulmonary vascularity on CXR[2]
- Increased pulmonary vascularity
- Decreased pulmonary vascularity
- Tetralogy of fallot
- Rare heart diseases with pulmonic stenosis
Evaluation
- Echocardiography
- Chest x-ray
- May have a paucity of pulmonary markings and normal heart size in patients with normal pulmonary blood flow (no VSD)
- May have cardiomegaly and prominence of pulmonary vascularity in patients with increased pulmonary blood flow (large VSD)
- ECG
- May demonstrate tall P waves, left axis deviation, LVH, and diminished RV forces
Management
- Stabilize cardiopulmonary function prior to surgery
- Supplemental oxygen
- Mechanical ventilation
- Inotropic agents (eg, dopamine and dobutamine) improve myocardial contractility
- Prostaglandin E1
- Maintain adequate ductal dependent pulmonary flow
- Start infusion at 0.05 mcg/kg/min IV and titrate up to 0.1 mcg/kg/min, monitoring for hypotension and apnea
- Side Effects: Hypotension, Bradycardia, Seizures and Apnea
- Staged surgical repair
Disposition
- Admit
