Tricuspid atresia is a birth defect of the tricuspid valve, which is the valve that controls blood flow from the right atrium (upper right chamber of the heart) to the right ventricle (lower right chamber of the heart). Tricuspid atresia occurs when this valve doesn’t form at all, and no..

The term “unbalance” has been used for decades in atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) to describe a lack of symmetry between left and right sides of the heart. Even though we all think to understand its meaning, the concept it alludes to is quite vague. What does then “unbalance” truly mean?..

Supravalvular aortic stenosis(SVAS) is a congenital heart defect. As the name suggests, SVAS means the section of the aorta located just above the aortic valve is narrowed. SVAS accounts for 8% to 14% of all congenital aortic stenosis. Three different types of SVAS are recognized: hourglass, membranous, and hypoplasia of..

Subvalvular aortic stenosis (SAS) is the second most common type of aortic stenosis, accounting for 14% of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction, with valvular aortic stenosis being the most common cause (70%). The prevalence of SAS is 6.5% of all the adult congenital heart diseases. It predominantly involves males, with a..

In patients with a TAC only one vessel originates from the heart chambers. Generally the common vessel (truncus) overrides a ventricular septal defect. Depending on the origin of the pulmonary artery, different types are distinguished in the Van Praagh classification (A1-A4; B, without VSD, is rare): type A1-2 (most common..
