==Overview==
A '''cyanotic heart defect''' is a group-type of [[congenital]] [[congenital heart defect|heart defects]] ('''CHD'''s).  The patient appears blue ([[cyanosis|cyanotic]]), due to deoxygenated [[blood]] bypassing the [[lung]]s and entering the [[systemic circulation]]. This can be caused by [[right-to-left shunt|right-to-left]] or [[bidirectional shunt|bidirectional]] [[shunt (medical)|shunting]], or malposition of the [[great arteries]].
 
Cyanotic heart defects, which account for approximately 25% of all [[congenital heart disease]], include:
 
* [[Tetralogy of Fallot]] (ToF)
* [[Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection]]
* [[Hypoplastic left heart syndrome]] (HLHS)
* [[Transposition of the great arteries]] (d-TGA)
* [[Truncus arteriosus]] (Persistent)
* [[Tricuspid atresia]]
* [[Interrupted aortic arch]]
* [[Coarctation of aorta]]
* [[Tricuspid atresia]]
* [[Pulmonary atresia]] (PA)
* [[Pulmonary stenosis]] (advanced)
