Without it, blood cannot flow normally on this side of the heart. If there is no alternate route to direct the blood flow, there would be virtually no blood in the right ventricle available to be pumped to the lungs for oxygenation. This can also result in an underdeveloped or hypoplastic right ventricle. Tricuspid atresia, also known as pulmonary atresia, is a term used to describe an underdeveloped or absent tricuspid valve. Tricuspid atresia is a congenital condition for which the cause is not well understood and is not as common as the other heart defects that obstruct or decrease pulmonary blood flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"i\"><\/span><strong><em>________________________<\/em><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Want more NCLEX\u00ae-style practice questions?
