Endocardial Cushion Defect
THE REPAIR of atrial septal defects was first undertaken over a decade ago.1'Although secundum-type defects could be closed adequately without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass, it soon became apparent that defects of the endocardial cushion type were not am-enable to correction by indirect technies.5 Accordingly, the need arose to differentiate these two lesions; the clinical, electrocardiogra...
متن کاملAtrioventricular conduction in patients with incomplete endocardial cushion defect.
The cause of left axis deviation noted on the electrocardiogram (ECG) in patients with ostium primum atrial septal defect has been attributed to two differing mechanisms: left ventricular overload secondary to mitral insufficiency and a congenitally anomalous atrioventricular conduction system. In order to define the conduction characteristics of the atrioventricular conduction system in patien...
متن کاملPrenatal Diagnosis of Uhl Anomaly with Autopsy Correlation
Uhl anomaly is a rare form of congenital hypoplasia of the right ventricular myocardium. Here, we report, a rare finding in fetal cardiac ultrasound in a 33-year-old woman who presented at 20 weeks' of gestation. A diagnosis of Uhl anomaly was made.

متن کاملEctopia cordis.
We report on a preterm male newborn with complete ectopia cordis associated with Cantrell's syndrome. The neonate had an ectopia cordis involving defects of the lower sternum, supraumbilical abdominal wall, anterior portion of the diaphragm, and diaphragmatic portion of the pericardium associated with complex congenital heart defects. The infant died shortly after birth. We discuss this case an...
متن کاملThoracic ectopia cordis with anatomically normal heart.
Ectopia cordis is a rare congenital malformation, which is commonly associated with other intracardiac defects. At two-day-old full-term baby girl was admitted to Santa Casade Misericórdia Hospital Montes Claros, NG, Brazil, with thoracic ectopia cordis. A transthoracic echocardiographic study did not identify any associated congenital heart diseases. The infant underwent surgical treatment usi...
