Twelve patients with tricuspid atresia underwent physiological operative repair. The criteria for their selection for operation included normal pulmonary vascular resistance and normal left atrial and left ventricular end-diastolic pressures. Four patients died (30% mortality). The 8 surviving patients developed pleural effusion, ascites, and hepatomegaly, which markedly improved in the subsequent weeks. Five of the 8 survivors underwent cardiac catheterization. The arterial oxygen saturation in these patients averaged 82% preoperatively, 89% immediately postoperatively, and 94% or better six months later. All had improved subjectively and developed increased exercise tolerance. |
