This study details a rare congenital heart defect, tricuspid atresia with truncus arteriosus. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention are crucial for infants with this severe condition.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Cardiology
  • Congenital Heart Disease
  • Medical Genetics

Background:

  • Tricuspid atresia and truncus arteriosus are rare congenital heart anomalies.
  • Their coexistence is exceptionally rare, with limited documented cases.

Observation:

  • Presents a rare case of tricuspid atresia combined with truncus arteriosus.
  • Reviews existing literature, identifying only six detailed cases and six mentioned without specifics.
  • Estimates prevalence at 1.4% among tricuspid atresia cases.

Findings:

  • Infants exhibit cyanosis and/or congestive heart failure within two months of birth, leading to rapid demise.
  • Common clinical findings include cardiomegaly, increased pulmonary vascular markings, left axis deviation, and left ventricular hypertrophy.

  • Pathological features include muscular tricuspid atresia, type I or II truncus arteriosus, large subtruncal VSD, and hypoplastic right ventricle.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the distinct clinical, laboratory, and pathological features of this combined anomaly.
    • Emphasizes the critical need for prompt recognition and palliative surgical intervention shortly after birth.
    • Suggests echocardiography, catheterization, and angiocardiography are vital for diagnosis.
