title: Tricuspid atresia with aortopulmonary window: challenges in achieving a balanced circulation.
abstract: Tricuspid atresia and aortopulmonary window are rare congenital cardiac anomalies. The occurrence of both these anomalies in the same patient is extremely rare, with only 1 case reported in the literature. We report the surgical management of one such patient and discuss the management issues with respect to Stage 1 single ventricle palliation.
