Journal ArticleDOI
The anatomy of common aorticopulmonary trunk (truncus arteriosus communis) and its embryologic implications. A study of 57 necropsy cases.
TL;DR: It was found that there appeared to be no such thing as “true” persistent truncus arteriosus in the timehonored sense of persistence of an undivided conotruncal channel, and a revised and simplified classification oftruncus is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Causes of Death After the Modified Norwood Procedure: A Study of 122 Postmortem Cases
TL;DR: The leading causes of death after the Norwood procedure were found to be largely correctable surgical technical problems associated with perfusion of the lungs, of the myocardium, and of the systemic organs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interrupted aortic arch: Surgical treatment
Richard Van Praagh,Richard Van Praagh,William F. Bernhard,William F. Bernhard,Amnon Rosenthal,Amnon Rosenthal,Lucy Parisi,Lucy Parisi,Donald C. Fyler,Donald C. Fyler +9 more
TL;DR: A new palliative surgical procedure for interruption of the aortic arch was successfully performed in an infant, and may prove life-saving in the hypoplastic left heart syndrome, with the addition of atrial septal defect creation when left atrial decompression is indicated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cor triatriatum: Pathologic anatomy and a consideration of morphogenesis based on 13 postmortem cases and a study of normal development of the pulmonary vein and atrial septum in 83 human embryos
TL;DR: The pathologic and embryologic findings strongly suggest that cor triatriatum results from entrapment of the left atrial ostium of the common pulmonary vein by tissue of the right horn of the sinus venosus from which septum primum develops, leading to failure of incorporation of theCommon pulmonary vein into theleft atrium during the fifth embryonic week.
Journal ArticleDOI
Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection: Report of 93 autopsied cases with emphasis on diagnostic and surgical considerations.

TL;DR: Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is failure of development of the common pulmonary vein, with consequent ersistence and enlargement of embryonic collaterals between the lungs and the systemic veins.
