Risk Factors
There is no specific risk factors for occurrence of tricuspid atresia during pregnancy . Few cases of tricuspid atresia with VACTERL association and chromosomal abnormalities including triosomy 13,18 and tetrasomy 22 were reported[1] Other potential factors include access to prenatal care and the mother's behavior during pregnancy (i.e. alcohol consumption, illicit drug use, etc).
