Abstract
Abstract Parachute tricuspid valve (PTV) is an exceedingly rare congenital anomaly, often found in association with acyanotic heart defects. Its occurrence in association with cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD) is even less common. We report the case of a 1-year-old male presenting with complex cyanotic heart disease along with parachute tricuspid valve. Detailed evaluation revealed a constellation of anomalies, including parachute tricuspid valve in association with double outlet right ventricle (DORV) with D-malposed great arteries, severe pulmonary stenosis, and a non-routable ventricular septal defect. Echocardiography played a vital role in defining the complex anatomy and guided the decision toward single-ventricle palliation. This case underscores the importance of meticulous anatomical assessment in patients with congenital heart disease and adds to the sparse literature on this rare condition.
