Functional aortic atresia in congenitally corrected transposition. 1989

K C Chan, and P Da Costa, and D F Dickinson
Department of Paediatric Cardiology, Killingbeck Hospital, Leeds, U.K.

An infant with congenitally corrected transposition and severe regurgitation through the left atrioventricular valve presented with clinical and Doppler echocardiographic features of aortic atresia. This eventually proved to be functional. This clinical situation had not, to the best of our knowledge been previously reported before.

D001024 Aortic Valve Stenosis A pathological constriction that can occur above (supravalvular stenosis), below (subvalvular stenosis), or at the AORTIC VALVE. It is characterized by restricted outflow from the LEFT VENTRICLE into the AORTA.

D014188 Transposition of Great Vessels A congenital cardiovascular malformation in which the AORTA arises entirely from the RIGHT VENTRICLE, and the PULMONARY ARTERY arises from the LEFT VENTRICLE. Consequently, the pulmonary and the systemic circulations are parallel and not sequential, so that the venous return from the peripheral circulation is re-circulated by the right ventricle via aorta to the systemic circulation without being oxygenated in the lungs. This is a potentially lethal form of heart disease in newborns and infants.
