Chest X Ray
- A chest x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of tricuspid atresia. Findings on an x-ray suggestive of tricuspid atresia include
- Situs solitus
- Left-sided aortic arch
- Levocardia
- Absent main pulmonary artery
- Pulmonary oligemia with decreased vascular markings
- Right aortic arch in %25 of cases.
- Shown below is an example of chest x-ray in a patient with tricuspid atresia demonstrating the following features:
- Reduced pulmonary blood flow
