- A chest x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of tricuspid atresia. Findings on an x-ray suggestive of tricuspid atresia include:[1]
- Situs solitus
- Left-sided aortic arch
- Levocardia
- Absent main pulmonary artery
- Pulmonary oligemia with decreasedvascular 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:
- Reducedpulmonary blood flow
- Prominent aortic root (AO) and right atrium (RA)
- Right atrial (RA) enlargement
- Absence of a right ventricle
- The left ventricle (LV) enlargement
