| IPCCC Definition | A congenital cardiac malformation in which there is a ventricular septal defect that opens to the right ventricle in the postero-inferior region of the trabeculated component of the ventricular septum. |
-
The anterior free wall of the right atrium and right ventricle have been removed to demonstrate a muscular ventricular septal defect along the postero-inferior aspect of the trabecular component of the ventricular septum. This ventricular septal defect is well away from the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve and lies near the diaphragmatic aspect of the right ventricle. There are tendinous cords passing anterior to the defect and attaching to the inferior papillary muscle. Note the atrial septal defect and perimembranous ventricular septal defects that were previously repaired. - Content for Echocardiogram

Image #1: In this anterior view, the right ventricle is opened in clam-shell fashion to demonstrate a large, fistulous communication between the coronary arteries and the right ventricle (black arrows). The inferior interventricular coronary arteries both contribute to this fistulous communication. This heart demonstrates the most severe variant of pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum in which only the inlet component of the right ventricle is present. The apical trabecular component and the outlet have been mostly obliterated by muscular hypertrophy. Image #2: This short axis view shows the apical component of both the right and left ventricles with a large coronary artery to right ventricular fistula. - Content for Echocardiogram.

The cavity of the right ventricle is bipartite, being represented only by its inlet and outlet component due to mural overgrowth of the apical trabecular component. This produces a less favorable type of pulmonary atresia-intact septum within the spectrum of this malformation. The outflow tract is patent, but extremely stenotic. At the distal aspect of the outflow tract there is pulmonary atresia with a tiny remnant of an imperforate valve at the ventriculo-arterial junction.

-
This anterior anatomic view demonstrates juxtaposition of the atrial appendages with the left atrial appendage extending from the left atrium, posterior to the arterial pedicle, to lie adjacent to the right atrial appendage and to the right side of the great arteries. This is commonly associated with hypoplasia or atresia of the mitral valve, hypoplasia of the left ventricle and aortic valvar stenosis or atresia. Note the severe hypoplasia of the ascending aorta in this heart with a hypoplastic left ventricle (not shown). - Content for Echocardiogram

The images are from the same heart and demonstrate a right atrium which is partially divided by a large, nearly obstructive Eustachian valve. In the first image, the large Eustachian valve is attached to a prominent terminal crest. The terminal crest is free standing as it crosses the opening of the superior caval vein (black arrow). Only the anterior-most portion of the oval fossa can be visualized. In the second image, the venous component of the right atrium shows the normal connections of the superior and inferior caval veins. The oval fossa is easily visualized along with the prominent Eustachian valve that nearly divides the right atrium. - Content for Echocardiogram.

The left atrium is opened posteriorly and viewed in anatomic position. A persistent left superior caval vein (PLSCV) drains to the roof of the left atrium with direct communication to the left atrial chamber between the appendage and the left pulmonary veins. This is typically referred to as unroofing of the coronary sinus. There is a prominent ridge (yellow dots) at the vein’s entrance to the left atrial roof and the tip of a probe is seen at the opening. The red dotted lines mark the position of the walls that would typically separate the persistent left superior caval vein from the left atrium. The coronary sinus is large and in this instance functions as an interatrial communication. - Content for Echocardiogram

Image # 1 is an anterior superior view of the aortic root as it exits the ventricular mass there is marked dilation of the sinuses of Valsalva secondary to a fibrous membrane present internally at the level of the sinotubular junction (red dots).
In image # 2 the left ventricular outflow tract and the aortic root shows subvalvar and supravalvar aortic stenosis in this patient noted to have Shone’s syndrome. The subvalvar stenosis is caused by a prominent fibrous ridge that is circumferential and extends over the aorta to mitral fibrous continuity. At the sinotubular junction (red dots) there is a fibrous shelf accounting for the distal valvar stenosis. Although this is the lesion that is commonly defined as being “supravalvar”, it is in fact a valvar lesion since the “commissures”, or the peripheral attachments of the leaflets, are part of the valvar mechanism.

| EACTS-STS Term | PENDING |
| IPCCC Definition | A congenital cardiac malformation that is a variant of an atrioventricular septal defect (atrioventricular canal defect) with the left ventricle significantly larger than the right. |
-
This heart has been sectioned to demonstrate the short axis of the ventricular mass. It is photographed to show the view from the apex looking towards the base. There is an atrioventricular septal defect with a common atrioventricular junction. The common atrioventricular valve is committed predominately to the left ventricle, resulting on left ventricular dominance. The papillary muscles (black stars) are close together within the left ventricle, which shows excessive trabeculations. The zone of apposition between the superior and inferior bridging leaflets is marked with the yellow lines. The right ventricular cavity is hypoplastic as is the right component of the common atrioventricular valve. - Content for Echocardiogram.

| IPCCC Definition | A congenital cardiovascular malformation in which the aortic root or its remnant is positioned directly to the left of the pulmonary root or its remnant. |

This anterior view demonstrates the heart in anatomic position. The cardiac apex, not shown in this image, is directed to the right. The aortic root is positioned side by side and directly leftward of the pulmonary root. - Content for Echocardiogram.

| IPCCC Definition | A congenital cardiovascular malformation in which the aortic root or its remnant is positioned directly to the right of the pulmonary root or its remnant. |
-
A portion of the anterior, right ventricular free wall has been removed to demonstrate the relationships of the arterial trunks. The aortic root is positioned directly to the right of the pulmonary trunk in this heart with ventriculo-arterial connection of double outlet right ventricle. The arterial trunks are side by side and both are supported by a complete, subarterial muscular infundibulum. Note the right ventricular hypertrophy and the restrictive ventricular septal defect (interventricular communication). - Content for Echocardiogram.

| ICD-11 Code | PENDING |
| EACTS-STS Code | PENDING |
| EACTS-STS Term | PENDING |
| IPCCC Definition | A congenital cardiovascular malformation with partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection in which some of the pulmonary veins (usually the right pulmonary veins) connect anomalously to the inferior caval vein (inferior vena cava) or to the right atrium at the insertion of the inferior vena cava. |
-
This heart/lung block is obtained from a patient with Scimitar syndrome. Image # 1 shows the opened right atrium viewed from the front and slightly to the right. A probe has been placed in the solitary pulmonary vein draining the right lung, which opens anomalously into the inferior caval vein immediately above the diaphragm. Although not viewed in this image, the left pulmonary veins drained in the usual fashion to the left atrium. - Content for Echocardiogram.

| IPCCC Definition | A congenital cardiovascular malformation in which the heart is central or midline within the thorax. |
-
The anterior portion of the sternum and ribs are removed to demonstrate the in situ position of the heart which lies in the midline with its apex pointing down. The yellow dots mark the limits of the diaphragmatic aspect of the pericardium. - Content for Echocardiogram
