    AbstractTricuspid and pulmonary atresia with single ventricle physiology and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs) is a complex cyanotic congenital heart disease with heterogeneous pulmonary artery morphology and arborization. The complex anatomy and physiology, coupled with a dearth of existing literature, pose imitable challenges to treatment. Although the exact surgical algorithm is still unclear, the goal is a well-developed, low-resistance pulmonary vascular bed. A precise understanding of the blood supply to each lung is a requisite for successful surgery, and a multimodality and multidisciplinary approach is compulsory. Herein, we describe a case of tricuspid and pulmonary atresia with single ventricle, MAPCAs and aortopulmonary collateral arteries.Copyright © 2020 Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography.
