We re cently treated 7 pa tients wit h tricuspid at resia type lb. and o ne patient wit h type IIl b by en largeme nt o f t he ven t ricular septu m defect (VS DI , co mbined w ith pulmonary valvotomy o r infundibular resectio n in 3 cases. Th e res ult was good o r excellent in t he 7 cases with type lb, white t he patie nt wit h type l Hb , suffering f rom associated cardiovascular malformati ons and operated upon in a very poor hemody nam ic state, d ied d uring operati on.

Review of the literature leads us to believe that thi s operation shou ld have a place amo ng t he different for ms of surg ical trea tme nt for tricusp id atresia .
