Overview

A cyanotic heart defect is a group-type of congenital heart defects (CHDs). The patient appears blue (cyanotic), due to deoxygenated blood bypassing the lungs and entering the systemic circulation. This can be caused by right-to-left or bidirectional shunting, or malposition of the great arteries.

Cyanotic heart defects, which account for approximately 25% of all congenital heart disease, include:

• Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF)
• Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection
• Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS)
• Transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA)
• Truncus arteriosus (Persistent)
• Tricuspid atresia
• Interrupted aortic arch
• Coarctation of aorta
• Tricuspid atresia
• Pulmonary atresia (PA)
• Pulmonary stenosis (advanced)
