title: [Aortic atresia. Presentation of 7 cases].
abstract: The clinical and anatomic findings of 7 patients with aortic atresia were studied. All cases had usual atrial arrangement, atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial concordance. All but one had an intact ventricular septum. All cases presented a hypoplastic left ventricle, and in one, a mitral atresia was found. The clinical diagnosis was made by means of cardiac catheterization and angiocardiography. The presence of a patent ductus arteriosus, the size of the atrial and ventricular septal defects, the diameter of the ascending aorta, pulmonary vascular resistances and right ventricular function are all factors that influence the survival in the patients with aortic atresia.
