Abstract:
Congenitally unguarded tricuspid valve orifice, a variant of tricuspid valve dysplasia, is a rare malformation with protean manifestations. This report describes a 5-year old child with refractory heart failure who, on echocardiography, was found to have unguarded tricuspid valve orifice with severe tricuspid regurgitation, pulmonary valve dysplasia with severe pulmonary regurgitation , cor triatriatum dexter , myxomatous mitral valve , perimembranous ventricular septal defect and a diverticulum of the right ventricular outflow tract. The management options for this child are discussed.

Heart Valves
The AV valves prevent the backflow of blood from the ventricles to the atria during ventricular contraction. These valves function with the assistance of the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles. When the ventricles are relaxed, the chordae tendineae are slack, allowing blood to flow from the atria into the...
