Ventricular inversion and tricuspid atresia (VITA complex): long survival without surgical treatment.

abstract：:Assessment of ventricular dysfunction and asynchrony is very important in predicting the outcome for children with a single right ventricle. However, the assessment is inaccurate and subjective because of the unusual ventricular shape. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and clinical value of velocity vector ...
