Authors present angiocardiographic study of 19 patients with univentricular heart. It was realized during the neonatal period in 13 cases and between the six first six months in the rest. To determine the existence of an only ventricle contrast was injected in the right and left atrium and the ventricle through the right and left atrioventricular valve. The bulbo-ventricular foramen was orientated in all cases from back-front wards. Those of left ventricle type had a right anterior, anterior-superior or left-anterior rudimentary chamber. Depending on its' morphology they were classified in three types: left, right or indeterminate. In these series fourteen patients had left ventricle morphology. All cases had a rudimentary chamber: 10 with transposition great vessel and four with normal related great vessels. Six presented normal situs (five with levocardia , and eight ambiguous situs (six with asplenia, four with dextrocardia). In nine atrio ventricular valves were anomalous. In the indeterminate type, two had a normal situs, two with polysplenia and two asplenia. Cardiac apex was oriented to the right in two (one asplenia). The two patients with polysplenia and one with normal situs and single atrium had a common ventricular valve. Four had an anterior aorta and three pulmonary obstruction.

D007231 Infant, Newborn An infant during the first 28 days after birth. Neonate,Newborns,Infants, Newborn,Neonates,Newborn,Newborn Infant,Newborn Infants
D007979 Levocardia Congenital abnormalities in which the HEART is in the normal position (levocardia) in the left side of the chest but some or all of the THORAX or ABDOMEN viscera are transposed laterally (SITUS INVERSUS). It is also known as situs inversus with levocardia, or isolated levocardia. This condition is often associated with severe heart defects and splenic abnormalities such as asplenia or polysplenia. Isolated Levocardia,Situs Inversus with Levocardia,Levocardia, Isolated
D008297 Male Males
D003914 Dextrocardia A congenital defect in which the heart is located on the right side of the THORAX instead of on the left side (levocardia, the normal position). When dextrocardia is accompanied with inverted HEART ATRIA, a right-sided STOMACH, and a left-sided LIVER, the combination is called dextrocardia with SITUS INVERSUS. Dextrocardia may adversely affect other thoracic organs. Dextrocardias
D005260 Female Females
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.
