Document Details : Title: A rare form of atrioventricular septal defect with severe subaortic stenosis Author(s): VENUGOPALAN, Poothorikovil , AGARWAL, Ajit K. , REYES, Zenaida Journal: Acta Cardiologica Volume: 56 Issue: 3 Date: June 2001 Pages: 195-197 DOI: 10.2143/AC.56.3.2005642 Abstract : An unusual form of atrioventricular septal defect associated with severe subaortic obstruction is reported in a neonate who presented with intractable cardiac failure. The baby had a large defect in the atrioventricular septum allowing communication from the left ventricle to the right atrium, without interatrial or interventricular communication, and a cleft anterior mitral leaflet. The baby expired despite palliative surgery performed to bypass the subaortic stenosis. |
