Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tricuspid atresia requires a way for blood to bypass the right ventricle since it cannot flow through the tricuspid valve. Each of the options (A, B, C) provides a pathway for blood to circulate in the presence of tricuspid atresia. A common truncus arteriosus or a ventricular septal defect allows blood to bypass the right ventricle and reach the lungs or the body, while a patent ductus arteriosus or an atrial septal defect allows for the mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, which is crucial for survival in the absence of normal blood flow through the heart.
