Double outlet left ventricle.

Double outlet left ventricle.

A case, the sixth, ofdouble outlet left ventricle is reported, the diagnosis being made by cardiac catheterization and angiocardiography. Though the existence of such a malformation has been questioned on embryologicalgrounds, double outlet left ventricle must now be regarded as a recognized cardiac anomaly. The embryological significance of this case is discussed and it is suggested that the m...

Double outlet right ventricle.

double-outlet right ventricle

In a previous study the possibility that tetralogy of Fallot and transposition of the great arteries may arise as a result of embryonic arrests in the normal rotation of the junction of the outflow tract and the great arteries was investigated. The results suggested that the development of other transposition complexes such as double-outlet right ventricle might also be related to arrests in th...

Double outlet left ventricle: diagnosis with magnetic resonance imaging.

A complex congenital cardiac malformation in a female patient was evaluated several times by angiocardiography and echocardiography in childhood but a definite diagnosis was not established. Segmental analysis of the heart and the great vessels by magnetic resonance imaging when the patient was 34, however, showed a double outlet left ventricle in which the aorta was situated anterior to and to...

A case of double-outlet left ventricle with atrioventricular discordance.

The clinical, echocardiographic and angiographic aspects of a four-month-old boy with double-outlet left ventricle, atrioventricular discordance, L-malposition of the great arteries, ventricular septal defect and pulmonary stenosis are described. Additionally, in this patient, the right arcus aorta and the ligament of ductus arteriosus caused anterior compression of the trachea. The anterior po...
