Abstract

Tricuspid atresia is the 19th most common congenital heart defect (0.7–1.6% of all congenital heart defects in clinical series, and up to 2.9% in autopsy series), but is the third most common cyanotic malformation presenting in the neonatal period, after transposition of the great arteries and tetralogy of Fallot. A slight male preponderance exists for tricuspid atresia, particularly in the presence of associated ventriculoarterial discordance.
