Univentricular Heart with two separate Atrioventricular Valves: Diagnosed clinically and by Trans Thoracic Two - Dimensional Echocardiography
نویسندگان
چکیده
A Univentricular Heart (UVH) is a rare congenital heart malformation. Prognosis without surgical intervention is considered to be poor and survival into the adulthood is unusual (1, 2). Its incidence being 1% to 4.3% of all congenital heart defects. Here we reported this rare congenital heart defect; hence it was worth reporting this interesting case.

Two-dimensional echocardiographic assessment of common atrioventricular valves in univentricular hearts.
Twelve patients with univentricular heart and common atrioventricular valve were identified by two-dimensional echocardiography. Seven had an ostium primum atrial septal defect and five a common atrium. The common atrioventricular valve had the appearance of a free floating anterior leaflet flanked by two lateral leaflets. The position of the rudimentary chamber in relation to the atrioventricu...

We reviewed anatomic observations (surgical or autopsy), angiograms and echocardiograms from 44 patients with documented univentricular hearts. Thirty-three patients had univentricular heart of left ventricular type with an outflow or rudimentary chamber. Five had univentricular heart of right ventricular type, and six had univentricular heart of indeterminate types without a rudimentary chambe...
متن کاملTwo dimensional echocardiographic categorisation of the univentricular heart. Ventricular morphology, type, and mode of atrioventricular connection.
Most univentricular hearts have two chambers in their ventricular mass, only one of which possesses an atrioventricular connection. Categorisation into univentricular heart of right, left, or indeterminate type, using two dimensional echocardiography has been successfully achieved in 122 out of 132 patients to whom this technique has been applied. Thus, right ventricular rudimentary chambers in...
متن کاملRecognition of imperforate atrioventricular valves by two dimensional echocardiography.
The majority of hearts in which selective right or left atrial angiography shows no direct communication between one atrium and a ventricular chamber are considered to be examples of atresia of the right or left atrioventricular valves. Most patients presenting with the clinical features of tricuspid atresia have an absent right atrioventricular connection, while those with features of mitral a...
متن کاملDetection and assessment of straddling and overriding atrioventricular valves by two dimensional echocardiography.
Sixteen patients with a straddling tricuspid and two with a straddling mitral valve were identified by two dimensional echocardiography. In all but one the atrioventricular valves appeared at the same level, indicating absence of the ventriculoatrial septum. A straddling valve was diagnosed by identifying subvalvular apparatus from one atrioventricular valve in both chambers, independent of whe...
