| ==Overview==
| |
| A '''cyanotic heart defect''' is a group-type of [[congenital]] [[congenital heart defect|heart defects]] ('''CHD'''s). The patient appears blue ([[cyanosis|cyanotic]]), due to deoxygenated [[blood]] bypassing the [[lung]]s and entering the [[systemic circulation]]. This can be caused by [[right-to-left shunt|right-to-left]] or [[bidirectional shunt|bidirectional]] [[shunt (medical)|shunting]], or malposition of the [[great arteries]].
| |
| | |
| Cyanotic heart defects, which account for approximately 25% of all [[congenital heart disease]], include:
| |
| | |
| * [[Tetralogy of Fallot]] (ToF)
| |
| * [[Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection]]
| |
| * [[Hypoplastic left heart syndrome]] (HLHS)
| |
| * [[Transposition of the great arteries]] (d-TGA)
| |
| * [[Truncus arteriosus]] (Persistent)
| |
| * [[Tricuspid atresia]]
| |
| * [[Interrupted aortic arch]]
| |
| * [[Coarctation of aorta]]
| |
| * [[Tricuspid atresia]]
| |
| * [[Pulmonary atresia]] (PA)
| |
| * [[Pulmonary stenosis]] (advanced)
