The tricuspid atresia caseThe discussion involving the child with tricuspid atresia focused on the fact that the child had to be returned to the operating room to have a central shunt re-done. The notes of the discussion conclude with this comment: Some issues were discussed related to the ability to predict the response to the Glenn shunt and it was felt that this was essentially not possible. The issue of returning a child to the unit with significant bleeding per chest tube was also discussed. (Exhibit 20, Document 278 G) The child subsequently recovered.
