Pulmonary arterial aneurysms.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Isolated ventricular noncompaction is considered to predominantly affect the left ventricle. It is characterized by increased left ventricular wall thickness and deep intertrabecular recesses with to-and-fro blood flow that remains in continuity with the ventricular flow. Aim of the study was to present a gr...
