A unique case of ventricular isomerism?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 August 2008
Abstract
Isomerism of the atriums has often been described with various complex cardiac malformations. As far as is known, a case of ‘ventricular isomerism’ has never been recorded. Described is a specimen where, on the basis of morphological criterions, there are two right ventricles.
