Congenital giant aneurysm of the left innominate vein: is surgical treatment required?

abstract：:Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are the most prevalent of all birth defects and the leading cause of death in the first year of life. The molecular causes of most CHDs remain largely unknown. The LIM homeodomain transcriptor factor ISL1 is a marker for undifferentiated cardiac progenitor cells that give rise to both t...
