Single primitive ventricle with normally related great arteries and atresia of the left A-V valve.

چکیده
A child aged 2 years and 9 months was angiocardiographically diagnosed to have a single ventricle with normally related great arteries and atresia of the left A-V valve. A Blalock-Hanlon procedure and division of a large patent ductus arteriosus were followed by reduction in pulmonary artery pressure, but after operation the patient showed signs of left ventricular failure unresponsive to medical treatment, necessitating pulmonary artery banding. We have found only three similar published cases, and this is the only one with full angiographic documentation.

Tricuspid atresia with double-outlet left atrium.
Clinical and pathologic findings of an unusual case of cardiac malformation are presented. The main features were those of atresia of the right atrioventricular valve associated with two distinct atrioventricular orifices connecting the morphologically left atrium to the underlying morphologically left ventricle. Other distinguishing characteristics were ostium secundum atrial septal defect, no...
متن کاملAortic atresia occurring with complete transposition of great arteries.
Aortic atresia occurring with complete transposition of the great arteries (ventriculoarterial discordance) has not previously been reported. A patient with this condition is described, who is alive and relatively well at the age of 6 years. This survival contrasts conspicuously with that of patients with the far commoner situation of aortic atresia with normally connected great arteries. It is...
متن کاملSingle ventricle with transposition.
Fifty-seven cases of single (common) ventricle with transposition of the great vessels are reviewed. The diagnosis had been confirmed by necropsy in 25 and by angiocardiography in 32 cases. Single (common) ventricle is defined as that condition in which both atrioventricular valves separately enter a single ventricular cavity. According to this definition, cases presenting with common atriovent...
متن کاملWhat Can Cause Pulmonary Vascular Disease in Functionally Single Ventricle?
Definition of “functionally single ventricle” includes a wide spectrum of anatomical variants such as double inlet left or right ventricle, mitral or tricuspid atresia, unbalanced atrioventricular canal, heterotaxy syndrome with one normally developed ventricle or other congenital heart defects with severe hypoplasia of one of the ventricles [2]. Anatomical and hemodynamic abnormalities in thes...
متن کاملAtresia of the Left Atrioventricular Orifice
The first well-documented case of Holmes heart associated with an atretic left atrioventricular orifice is reported. The Holmes heart may be considered as a single ventricle in which the main chamber has the morphologic characteristics of a left ventricle, the infundibular chamber is not inverted, and the great arteries are normally arranged. The importance of this report is greater than its si...
