Tricuspid atresia (TA) treatment has improved significantly with the Fontan principle. Staged total cavopulmonary connection is the preferred surgical approach for children with TA, offering a better outlook.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Cardiology
  • Congenital Heart Disease Surgery
  • Cardiovascular Physiology

Background:

  • Tricuspid atresia (TA) historically has a poor prognosis.
  • Advances in surgical techniques, including the Fontan principle, have improved outcomes for children with TA.
  • Prompt palliative procedures are crucial for managing pulmonary blood flow and obstructions in TA.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current surgical management of tricuspid atresia (TA).
  • To highlight the efficacy of staged total cavopulmonary connection in improving long-term outlook for TA patients.
  • To compare the outcomes of total cavopulmonary diversion with conventional Fontan-Kreutzer operations.

Main Methods:

  • Review of palliative procedures for tricuspid atresia.

  • Description of staged total cavopulmonary connection, including bidirectional Glenn procedure and extracardiac conduit diversion.
  • Comparison of total cavopulmonary diversion with conventional Fontan-Kreutzer operations.

    • Main Results:

    • Staged total cavopulmonary connection is the current procedure of choice for surgical management of TA.
    • This approach bypasses the right atrium and right ventricle.
    • Total cavopulmonary diversion shows potential superiority over conventional Fontan-Kreutzer operations.

    Conclusions:

    • The long-term outlook for children with tricuspid atresia has markedly improved with modern surgical therapies.
    • Staged total cavopulmonary connection represents a significant advancement in TA management.
    • Further long-term follow-up studies are necessary to definitively confirm the superiority of total cavopulmonary diversion.
