Tricuspid atresia is a congenital (present at birth) heart defect that occurs when the tricuspid valve of the heart doesn’t form. The tricuspid valve is normally between two chambers on the right side of your heart, the right atrium (upper chamber) and right ventricle (lower chamber).

In tricuspid atresia, you have solid tissue instead of the tricuspid valve. This sheet of tissue blocks blood flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle, where blood would normally go. Because of this blockage, the right ventricle usually is small and underdeveloped. The other valve on the right side between the right ventricle and the lungs can also be underdeveloped (pulmonary valve).

Tricuspid atresia types
Healthcare providers put cases of tricuspid atresia into different categories. Up to 80% of people have Type I. Types I and II also have three subcategories based on other heart defects present.

Type I: Your baby’s pulmonary artery and aorta (or “great arteries”) are in the correct place. However, they may have a hole in their ventricle wall (ventricular septal defect) or a problem with their pulmonary valve.
Type II: Your baby’s pulmonary artery and aorta are in each other’s places. Also, there’s a ventricular septal defect and possibly a problem with your baby’s pulmonary valve.
Type III (the rarest type): There are different problems with the position of your baby’s pulmonary artery and aorta and the right and left ventricles.

Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a heart issue in which your mitral valve flaps bow or flop back into your left atrium. This may prevent your valve from closing as tightly as it should between your left atrium and left ventricle. These are the two heart chambers that collect and pump oxygen-rich blood out to your body.

Your mitral valve’s two tissue flaps (leaflets) open and shut with each heartbeat. This is how they manage blood flow out of your left atrium and into your left ventricle.

Mitral valve prolapse is a common form of mitral valve disease that affects 2% to 3% of the general population. MVP is often harmless. Many people have no symptoms and don’t even know they have it. That’s because their valve can still function well.

Some people with moderate or severe prolapse have symptoms and need treatment. It may be daunting to hear that you need surgery. But it may be comforting to know that many people have had successful procedures
