Morphological considerations pertaining to recognition of atrial isomerism. Consequences for sequential chamber localisation.
The atrial morphology and venous connections were assessed "blind" in 51 necropsy specimens from patients with visceral heterotaxy. This was compared with bronchial morphology as established by dissection. Six specimens were found to have both atria and bronchi in situs solitus or inversus, and were rejected. In the remainder, atrial isomerism was diagnosed, though this required minor revision ...
متن کاملConjoined twins, right atrial isomerism, and sequential segmental analysis.
Three cases of twins conjoined across the chest were examined. In one set, one twin showed right atrial isomerism and the other showed the usual atrial arrangement. The other two sets showed the usual atrial arrangement in both twins. The associated cardiac anomalies were diverse, ranging from atrioventricular septal defects to absent atrioventricular connections. Sequential segmental analysis ...
متن کاملClinical implications of atrial isomerism.
Right atrial isomerism or left atrial isomerism is frequently diagnosed as situs ambiguous without further discrimination of the specific morbid anatomy. Thirty six cases of right atrial isomerism and seven cases of left atrial isomerism were collected from the records and pathological museum at the National Taiwan University Hospital. There was a necropsy report for 18 cases. In all patients o...
متن کاملConsiderations for Fontan Individualization in Patients with Isomerism (Heterotaxy)
Fontan palliation has been used as the final stage in functionally univentricular palpation for several years. The Fontan has undergone several iterations, having begun as an atriopulmonary connection and then evolving into the extracardiac conduit. Innovations in computer modeling and flow simulation has now allowed for studies to be conducted to characterize flow within the Fontan conduit and...
متن کاملPrenatal diagnosis of atrial isomerism in the Korean population
OBJECTIVE To report our experiences in the prenatal diagnosis of atrial isomerism and postnatal outcomes. METHODS A total of 80 fetuses prenatally diagnosed with atrial isomerism were retrospectively analyzed between 1999 and 2011 at a single institution. RESULTS Of 43 fetuses with prenatally diagnosed right atrial isomerism (RAI), 40 cases were analyzed. The diagnostic accuracy was 93%. Th...
