  • Title: Aortic atresia with normal left ventricle and intact ventricular septum.
    Author: Esteban I, Cabrera A.
    Journal: Chest; 1978 Jun; 73(6):883-4. PubMed ID: 149002.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of aortic atresia with biventricular hypertrophy and death due to cardiac insufficiency (at 5 1/2 days of age). In the necropsy a normally sized left ventricle was observed, with endocardiac fibroelastosis, anomalous mitral arcade, intact interventricular septum and atresia of the aortic valve. The ascending aorta was moderately hypoplasic; there was a foramen ovale and persistent ductus arteriosus. We believe that this is the first case that has been reported of this anomaly occurring with a normal left ventricle and intact ventricular septum.
