Open heart surgery is done to correct hypoplastic left heart syndrome. In some cases additionally catheter therapies are done. And in rare cases heart transplantation is needed for hypoplastic left heart syndrome.
Single ventricle defects need a series of open heart methods called staged reconstruction. In some cases cardiac catheterization is also performed.
Tricuspid valve opens to right atrium and right ventricle. A baby with tricuspid atresia will have only one ventricle (left ventricle) functioning and have poorly constructed right heart buildings. Tricuspid atresia have the next characteristic
You all realise that heart has four chambers. The first two upper chambers of heart are collectively called as atria, and atria collect the blood flowing into the guts. The last two chambers of heart called as ventricle helps to pump out the blood from heart. Single ventricle defect is called for a baby born with heart that has problems for one lower chamber of heart. This lower chamber, ventricle may also be small, underdeveloped or missing a valve.
Treatment for congenital heart disease are
Treatment for Double outlet left ventricle
Signs and symptoms for heterotaxy syndrome
It is a rare birth defect that involves heart and other organs. There are two varieties of heterotaxy syndrome and they may be
Children with right atrial isomerism have multiple heart defects adding

Diagnosis for heterotaxy syndrome
Double outlet left ventricle is a rare birth defect (congenital heart defect) appears in toddlers and it occurs when the aorta and pulmonary artery both exit from the left ventricle. The only pathway for blood to flow into the lungs is a hole that connects the two ventricles (ventricular septal defect).
Baby with tricuspid atresia require prostaglandin medication and three surgeries namely Blalock-Taussig shunt, Hemi-Fontan/Glenn,and Fontan

Treatment for hypoplastic left heart syndrome
Tricuspid atresia
Single ventricle heart defects comprise:-----
Signs and symptoms for hypoplastic left heart syndrome
Surgery is performed for Double outlet left ventricle, and throughout this procedure VSD is corrected. In some cases cardiac surgeons will perform a bidirectional Glenn procedure followed by a Fontan operation
Children with left atrial isomerism have
Left atrial isomerism
Septal defects
Problems with heart valves
Problems with hearts electrical system
Complete heart block
There will be no spleen or may also have polysplenia (several small spleens)
Difficulty in breathing and feeding
Skin, lips and nails will have blue or purple tint.
Lethargy
Single ventricle heart defects
Septal defects
Problems with heart valves (particularly pulmonary heart valve)
Anomalous pulmonary venous connection (abnormalities of blood returning from lungs to heart)
Absence of spleen
Liver and other organs on wrong side of the physique
This is a severe heart defect (congenital heart defect) in which left side of heart is not fully constructed. Child with hypoplastic left heart syndrome will have a small left ventricle and also have a closed or too small mitral and aortic valve.
Cardiac catheterization and surgical methods are done for left atrial isomerism
For abnormal heart rhythm implantable pacemakers (defibrillators) are required.
For right atrial isomerism, no treatments are required, but patients with left atrial isomerism need to stopover at pediatric cardiologist regularly for medical checkups.

These are inborn birth defect affecting varied conditions of heart. Different varieties of congenital defects are PDA, ASD, VSD, AVC, TGA, TOF, DORV, truncus arteriosus, tricuspid atresia, pulmonary atresia, CoA, AS, HLHS

Signs and symptoms for tricuspid atresia
Most of the patients with Left atrial isomerism and right atrial isomerism need lot of heart surgeries
No tricuspid valve
Have smaller right ventricle
