Rotation of the ventricular outflow tracts

Development and Morphology of the Ventricular Outflow Tracts

It is customary, at the current time, to consider many, if not most, of the lesions involving the ventricular outflow tract in terms of conotruncal malformations. This reflects the introduction, in the early 1940s, of the terms conus and truncus to describe the components of the developing outflow tract. The definitive outflow tracts in the postnatal heart, however, possess three, rather than t...

Functional Characteristics of the Left Ventricular Inflow and Outflow Tracts.

• The heart chambers contract sequentially and any significant alteration in spread of the electrical activity may bring about a change in sequence. While recording contractile force from multiple sites on a single ventricle, it was noted that different portions of the ventricular myocardium showed consecutive onset of systole. Puff employed high-speed cinematography to study changes in ventric...

Use and performance of the Melody Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve in native and postsurgical, nonconduit right ventricular outflow tracts.

BACKGROUND Melody Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve (TPV) replacement therapy represents an important advance in congenital cardiovascular interventions. The off-label extension of the Melody TPV to patients with nonconduit outflow tracts (right ventricular outflow tract [RVOT]) has the potential to vastly expand the population of patients eligible to benefit from nonsurgical restoration of RVOT fu...
