Abstract
- Combined tricuspid atresia and absent pulmonary valve with dysplasia of the right ventricular myocardium is a very rare congenital heart anomaly with a poor prognosis. We present three cases of this rare disease that reached the Fontan operation without prior surgical intervention of the right ventricle or pulmonary artery; no right ventriclar dilation was detected. All patients had uneventful post-operative courses.
