Background

  • Congenital cardiac abnormality
  • Less than 1% of all congenital cardiac defects
  • Malformation of tricuspid valve and right ventricle [1]
    • Septal and posterior leaflets of tricuspid valve adhere to underlying myocardium
    • Functional annulus of tricuspid valve displaced toward right ventricular apex
    • Portion of the right ventricle is 'atrialized' with dilation and hypertrophy or thinning of the wall
    • Anterior leaflet of tricuspid valve may be redundant or tethered
    • Right AV junction dilated
    • Right-to-left cardiac shunt

Clinical Features[2]

An example of clubbing.

Differential Diagnosis

Sick Neonate

THE MISFITS [12]

Evaluation

  • Echocardiography
    • Apical displacement of septal leaflet of tricuspid valve
    • Tethering of tricuspid valve
    • Right atrial enlargement
    • Atrialization of right ventricle
    • Tricuspid regurgitation
  • Cardiac MR
    • Useful when echo image quality is inadequate[13]
  • ECG[14]
    • Tall, broad P waves due to right atrial enlargement
    • Complete or incompletely right bundle branch block
    • Small R wave in V1 and V2
    • Bizarre QRS due to conduction abnormalities
  • CXR
    • Enlarged cardiac silhouette [15]
    • 'Globe-shaped' heart with narrow waist [16]

Management

  • Supportive care
    • Asymptomatic patients with no right to left shunting and minimal cardiomegaly may only require regular monitoring[17][18]
    • Endocarditis prophylaxis
    • Avoidance of sport in moderate or severe disease (patients with mild disease may participate in sport)[19]
  • Medical management
  • Surgical repair
    • Recommended for: [22]
      • Limited exercise capacity (NYHA III - IV)
      • Increasing heart size (cardiothoracic ration > 0.65)
      • Significant cyanosis (resting SpO2 < 90%)
      • Severe symptomatic tricuspid regurgitation
      • Transient ischemic attack or stroke
    • Tricuspid repair maintaining the native tricuspid valve whenever possible
    • Catheter ablation for dysrhythmias [23]
    • Pacemaker insertion for persistent dysrhythmias [24]

Disposition

  • Cardiology or cardiothoracic surgery consultation

Complications[25]

  • Cardiomegaly
  • Hepatomegaly
  • Congestive heart failure
  • Cardiac dysrhythmias
  • Thomboembolic events
