This report details a case of complete, type A atrioventricular (AV) canal, also called complete endocardial cushion defect, in a young dog. Complete AV canal is classified as three types: A, B or C depending on the degree of linkage between common AV valve and ventricular chambers. Despite the defect this dog, which did not undergo surgical treatment, remains in ISACHC class Ib 19 months after the initial diagnosis.

D004694 Endocardial Cushion Defects A spectrum of septal defects involving the ATRIAL SEPTUM; VENTRICULAR SEPTUM; and the atrioventricular valves (TRICUSPID VALVE; BICUSPID VALVE). These defects are due to incomplete growth and fusion of the ENDOCARDIAL CUSHIONS which are important in the formation of two atrioventricular canals, site of future atrioventricular valves.

D054089 Endocardial Cushions A fetal heart structure that is the bulging areas in the cardiac septum between the HEART ATRIA and the HEART VENTRICLES. During development, growth and fusion of endocardial cushions at midline forms the two atrioventricular canals, the sites for future TRICUSPID VALVE and BICUSPID VALVE.
