[Juxtaposition of the atrial appendages].
Six cases of juxtaposition of the atrial appendages are documented by necropsied specimens and analyzed. A high incidence of conotruncal anomalies, especially transposition of the great arteries, further A-V valve abnormalities, and pulmonary valve atresia, is found. The recognition of juxtaposition of the atrial appendages during cardiac catheterization should alert the investigator to the pre...

Experience with five patients with transposition of the great arteries in combination with juxtaposition of the atrial appendages in whom Mustard's operation was performed is reviewed.

We present an infant with right-sided juxtaposition of atrial appendages who had open heart surgery for ventricular septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus. Of 12 cases thus far reported, ventricular d-loop was observed in nine, and normal position of great vessels in four. Contrary to previous views, this condition may not be accompanied by severe conotruncal anomalies.
متن کاملJuxtaposition of atrial appendages associated with normally oriented ventricles and great arteries.
A case is reported of a stillborn infant in whom both atrial appendages lay to one side of the great arteries, so-called juxtaposition of the atrial appendages. The unusual features of the case reported are twofold. First, both atrial appendages lay to the right of the great vessels while, more commonly, juxtaposed atrial appendages lie to the left of the aorta and pulmonary trunk. Second, in o...

Left juxtaposition of the atrial appendages is usually associated with cyanotic congenital heart disease. Recognition of this rare anomaly is important before therapeutic or surgical procedures that involve the atrial septum can be undertaken (for example, septostomy, the Mustard or Senning operation and the Fontan anastomosis). The diagnosis of left juxtaposition of the atrial appendages is mo...
