A case of double inlet left ventricle in a 59-year-old man.
An autopsy case of a 59-year-old man with double inlet left ventricle with a rudimentary right ventricle and discordant ventriculo-arterial connexion is reported. No surgery was performed during his life time and all clinical and echocardiographical findings had led to the diagnosis of a ventricular septal defect. The correct diagnosis could only be made after autopsy.
