Surgery
There are a number of interventional methods to address a tricuspid atresia. These include:
- PGE1 to maintain patent ductus arteriosus
- Modified Blalock-Taussig shunt to maintain pulmonary blood flow by placing a Gortex conduit between the subclavian artery and the pulmonary artery.
- Cavopulmonary anastomosis (hemi-Fontan or bidirectional Glenn) to provide stable pulmonary flow
- Fontan procedure to redirect inferior vena cava and hepatic vein flow into the pulmonary circulation
