Comments:    

Please note that images A010109-30a, A010109-30b and A010109-30e are from different hearts. Images A010109-30c, A010109-30d are from the same heart. All hearts have varying degrees of left ventricular endocardial fibroelastosis.

Modality: Anatomic specimen

Orientation: Four chamber view viewed from the front

Description:  A four chamber view of this heart removed for transplantation shows a hypoplastic, fibroelastotic left ventricle (LV). The apical portion of this globular left ventricle demonstrates remnants of the trabecular component which are an unusual feature in HLHS (red dots). The mitral valve (MV) is severely stenotic, with short, fused tendinous cords. There is right ventricular hypertrophy and the right ventricle (RV) forms the apex of the heart. This image illustrates the endocardial fibroelastosis nicely. (TV-tricuspid valve, RA-right atrium).

Modality: Anatomic specimen

Orientation: Long axis view

Description:  A simulated right ventricular long axis echocardiographic view, cut from a different heart, illustrates a globular, hypoplastic left ventricle (LV). The right ventricle (RV) forms the apex of this heart, with the tricuspid valve (TV) in the inlet portion and a large pulmonary trunk (PT) forming the outlet component. The arterial duct is widely patent (PAD). The ascending aorta and aortic arch (AoA) are hypoplastic. Although not easily seen in this image, this left ventricle did have fibroelastotic changes. (RAA-right atrial appendage, LAA-left atrial appendage, PVV-pulmonary vein).

Modality: Anatomic specimen

Orientation: Superior anterior view

Description:  The images of these two panels are taken from the same heart (refer to comments above). The anatomic view of the great vessels as they exit the base of the heart demonstrates a markedly hypoplastic ascending aorta (AoA) and a large, dilated pulmonary trunk (PT). The arterial duct (PAD) is widely patent. This is the classic appearance of the great vessels in a heart with hypoplastic left heart with aortic atresia and mitral atresia. In this particular case, the mitral valve had a pinpoint opening (please refer to image A010109-30d). The brachiocephalic trunk (BCT), the left carotid (LCCA) and the left subclavian (LSA) arteries exit the aortic arch in the usual fashion. (SCV-superior caval vein, RAA-right atrial appendage).

Modality: Anatomic specimen

Orientation: Posterior left atrial view

Description:  This view of the mitral valve (MV) demonstrates severe stenosis of the left ventricular inlet to this heart with hypoplastic left ventricle. The pinpoint opening (yellow arrow) that can be seen rendered the valve functionally atretic. Note the dilated pulmonary veins (PVV). (LAA-left atrial appendage).

Modality: Anatomic specimen

Orientation: Short axis view

Description:  This view of the base of a different heart with hypoplastic left heart, demonstrates the pertinent anatomic features of aortic valve (AoV) atresia and mitral valve (MV) stenosis. The right coronary artery (RCA) easily visualized extending to the right atrioventricular groove. The pulmonary trunk (PT) is large and dilated. The tricuspid valve (TV) guards the right ventricular inlet and the right atrium (RA) is dilated. There is severe stenosis of the mitral valve (MV) and the left atrium is hypoplastic. (LAA-left atrial appendage).
