Anterosuperior diverticula of the right ventricle: morphological spectrum and long-term outcome of a distinct cardiac anomaly.

abstract：:Fifty infants with interrupted aortic arch (IAA), admitted between 1979 and 1988, were reviewed. They usually presented early in severe cardiac failure or shock. In the initial 5-year period, 17 of the 21 infants underwent diagnostic or confirmatory cardiac catheterization, in contrast with the latter 5 years when onl...
