Presentation of Complex Congenital Cardiac Anomalies in a Newborn Pediatric Patient: A Case Report.

Tricuspid atresia, a critical congenital heart defect (CHD), accounts for approximately 1% of all cases of CHDs. When tricuspid atresia is coupled with numerous other unexpected congenital cardiac anomalies, a patient's condition becomes more serious and more complex. We present a case that demonstrates the stepwise approach to the holistic treatment of congenital tricuspid atresia in the presence of normally related great vessels, a large ventricular septal defect (VSD), atrial septal defect (ASD), and trivial patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). While expanding upon the implementation of chest X-ray imaging, serial transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) imaging, and the balloon atrial septostomy (BAS) procedure, we also provide insight into the multidisciplinary team-based approach utilized for this patient's case. This case illustrates a rare critical CHD coupled with other, more common congenital anomalies, and suggests that with multidisciplinary management and treatment, it is possible the mortality rates associated with this diagnosis could decline.
