BASICS
Description
- Aberrant embryonic development results in mixing of deoxygenated and oxygenated blood returning to systemic circulation by 2 mechanisms:
- Right-to-left intracardiac shunt
- Anatomic defects of the aortic root
- Subtypes: 5 T’s, 2 E’s, single ventricle:
- Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF):
- Ventricular septal defect (VSD)
- Right ventricular (RV) outflow obstruction
- Overriding aorta
- RV hypertrophy (RVH)
- Transposition of the great arteries (TGA):
- Aorta arises from RV and pulmonary artery from left ventricle (LV)
- Tricuspid atresia:
- No outlet from right atrium to RV
- Obligatory atrial level connection
- Truncus arteriosus:
- Single arterial trunk for systemic, pulmonic and carotid circulations
- Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR):
- Pulmonary veins drain into systemic venous circulation
- Supracardiac, cardiac, infracardiac, or mixed
- Ebstein anomaly of ...
