Echocardiographic diagnosis of congenital left ventricular - right atrial communication. 1979

P Marino, and B Dander, and G C Salazzari, and G P Perini, and A Poppi

2 patients, aged 8 mth and 48 yr, referred for a clinical diagnosis of ventricular septal defect, were studied by ultrasound. In both a fluttering and an anterior bowing of the systolic segment of the tricuspid valve was found, consistent with a left ventricular--right atrial communication. Diagnosis was confirmed by angiography and open-heart surgery, showing in 1 patient a supravalvular defect, and an infravalvular one in the other. The postoperative echocardiograms of the tricuspid valve were normal. Ultrasound appears to be a safe and simple method in detecting this rare cardiac abnormality.

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.
