Examples
-
If fetal development progresses normally, the truncus divides into two arteries that carry blood out of the heart: the pulmonary artery, which is attached to the right bottom chamber (ventricle) of the heart and divides into two arteries carrying oxygen-poor ( "blue") blood to each side of the lungs the aorta, which is attached to the left bottom chamber (ventricle) of the heart and carries oxygen-rich ( "red") blood to the body.
Truncus Arteriosus 2009
-
The right side of the normal heart receives oxygen-poor blood/blue
Tricuspid Atresia 2010
-
The lower right chamber of the heart, which receives oxygen-poor (blue) blood from the right atrium and sends it to the pulmonary artery.
-
A congenital heart defect in which the tricuspid valve and right ventricle do not develop properly, preventing oxygen-poor (blue) blood from reaching the lungs via its normal pathway.
-
It connects the inferior vena cava to the pulmonary artery, allowing oxygen-poor (blue) blood from the body to flow directly into the lungs.
-
The oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle (bottom chamber) and the oxygen-rich blood from the left ventricle (bottom chamber) mix when ejected out into the trunk, and more blood than normal goes back to the lungs making it harder for the infant to breathe.
Truncus Arteriosus 2009
-
A surgical connection between the superior vena cava and the right pulmonary artery, allowing oxygen-poor (blue) blood to flow into the lungs.
-
Desaturation can occur when oxygen-poor (blue) blood from the right side of the heart circulation mixes with oxygen-rich (red) blood in the left side of the heart circulation and goes to the body.
-
The upper right chamber of the heart, which receives oxygen-poor (blue) blood from the body and sends it to the right ventricle.
-
The blood vessel connecting the right ventricle to the lungs, allowing oxygen-poor (blue) blood to receive oxygen.
