Tricuspid atresia is a congenital heart defect that results in cyanosis due to the absence of communication between the right atrium and ventricle caused by the complete agenesis of the tricuspid valve. This condition has several subtypes with varied clinical presentations determined by the extent of pulmonary blood flow. The root cause of this condition lies in abnormal heart development during embryogenesis without any confirmed genetic predisposition. Without intervention within the first year of life, tricuspid atresia carries a high mortality rate.The anatomical variations in tricuspid atresia, often involving pulmonary obstruction, prompt a thorough evaluation to assess its impact on hemodynamic status. The lesion is further classified into several subtypes, with or without pulmonary obstruction, based on the anatomical changes. Implementing further procedural recommendations based on the evaluation aims to restore normal blood flow. Given the potential for long-term complications, intensive care serves as the primary setting for managing tricuspid atresia, followed by ongoing monitoring to ensure a sustained high quality of life for affected individuals. This activity describes the etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, complications, and management of tricuspid atresia. This activity equips healthcare professionals with updated knowledge and skills for effective diagnosis, treatment, and overall management of this congenital heart condition, leading to improved patient care and outcomes.
