How to treat tricuspid atresia

Tricuspid atresia is a congenital heart disease in which the tricuspid valve is underdeveloped or absent, resulting in abnormal blood flow between the right atrium and the right ventricle. The following are the treatment methods for tricuspid atresia: 1. Surgical treatment: palliative surgery: the purpose is to increase the oxygen content of systemic circulation, improve systemic blood circulation, and create conditions for radical surgery in the future. It mainly includes: atrial septostomy, systemic pulmonary shunt, etc. Radical surgery: It is the fundamental method for treating tricuspid atresia. It restores normal blood circulation to the heart by establishing a normal channel from the right atrium to the right ventricle. Surgical methods include: right atrioventricular anastomosis, modified Fontan surgery, etc. Such as dopamine, dobutamine, etc., can enhance myocardial contractility and increase cardiac output. Anticoagulant drugs: prevent thrombosis and prevent complications. 3. Other treatments: Interventional therapy: For some specific cases, such as tricuspid atresia with atrial septal defect, intervention can be used. Combined heart-lung transplantation: Combined heart-lung transplantation is an option for patients who are too ill to be treated by other methods. It should be noted that the treatment of tricuspid atresia needs to be selected according to the specific conditions of the patient, including age, symptoms, cardiac function, etc. At the same time, postoperative follow-up and treatment are also very important, including regular review, drug adjustment, etc., to ensure the recovery and maintenance of cardiac function. For patients with tricuspid atresia, it is recommended to treat under the guidance of doctors and follow the recommendations of doctors for postoperative management. In addition, patients and family members should also understand the relevant knowledge of the disease and actively cooperate with the treatment to improve the quality of life. For female patients with fertility needs, it is recommended to consult a doctor before pregnancy, assess cardiac function and fertility risks, and prepare for pregnancy and pregnancy management under the guidance of a doctor.
