The surgical anatomy of the Taussig-Bing malformation. 1987

G Stellin, and J R Zuberbuhler, and R H Anderson, and R D Siewers

There is no consensus as to the most appropriate definition of the use of the term Taussig-Bing malformation. In this study, we endorse the suggestion that the lesion be considered a spectrum of anomalies, unified by a juxtapulmonary ventricular septal defect with malalignment of the infundibular septum. The ends of the spectrum are hearts with, on the one hand, double-outlet right ventricle and, on the other hand, a discordant ventriculoarterial connection. We studied 10 hearts within this spectrum, eight with a double outlet and two with discordant ventriculoarterial connection. We found that the same basic morphology could exist with a bilaterally complete infundibulum or in the presence of fibrous continuity between the mitral and the pulmonary valves. Features of most significance for surgical correction were the arrangement of the outlet septum (particularly the presence or absence of chordal attachments from the atrioventricular valves), the morphology of the coronary arteries, and the state of the subaortic infundibulum. The options for surgical correction are determined by the internal morphology of the lesions rather than by the precise ventriculoarterial connection.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009206 Myocardium The muscle tissue of the HEART. It is composed of striated, involuntary muscle cells (MYOCYTES, CARDIAC) connected to form the contractile pump to generate blood flow.

D011667 Pulmonary Veins The veins that return the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart. Pulmonary Vein,Vein, Pulmonary,Veins, Pulmonary
D002648 Child A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL. Children
D004310 Double Outlet Right Ventricle Incomplete transposition of the great vessels in which both the AORTA and the PULMONARY ARTERY arise from the RIGHT VENTRICLE. The only outlet of the LEFT VENTRICLE is a large ventricular septal defect (VENTRICULAR SEPTAL DEFECTS or VSD). The various subtypes are classified by the location of the septal defect, such as subaortic, subpulmonary, or noncommitted.

D006345 Heart Septal Defects, Ventricular Developmental abnormalities in any portion of the VENTRICULAR SEPTUM resulting in abnormal communications between the two lower chambers of the heart. Classification of ventricular septal defects is based on location of the communication, such as perimembranous, inlet, outlet (infundibular), central muscular, marginal muscular, or apical muscular defect.

D006346 Heart Septum This structure includes the thin muscular atrial septum between the two HEART ATRIA, and the thick muscular ventricular septum between the two HEART VENTRICLES. Cardiac Septum,Heart Septa,Septa, Heart,Septum, Cardiac,Septum, Heart
D006352 Heart Ventricles The lower right and left chambers of the heart. The right ventricle pumps venous BLOOD into the LUNGS and the left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood into the systemic arterial circulation.
