Overview
Prevention
- Effective measures for the primary prevention of tricuspid atresia include fetal echocardiography and sonography in 18th weeks of pregnancy for prenatal screening.
- Once diagnosed and surgically treated, post operated patients with Fontan palliative shunt should be evaluated by cardiac MRI. Follow up maybe about the complications of Fontan shunt including:
- Pericardial effusion and pleural effusion,chylothorax and protein-losing enteropathy due to lymphatic dysfunction
- Pulmonary embolism, blood clot formation in shunt
- Liver failure and portal hypertension as a result of increased pressure in the shunt
- leakage of the anastomosis
- Pulmonary hypertension
