 *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:
-** [[Exercise intolerance]] due to[[ ventricular failure]]
-** [[ 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]]
-** [[Right atrium dilation]]
-** [[arrhythmia]]
