Aortic atresia with a solitary and indeterminate ventricle.
A male infant having aortic atresia and double inlet to a solitary and indeterminate ventricle, presented a clinical picture of "hypoplastic left heart syndrome". Haemodynamic consequences are described and comparison made to other types of aortic atresia. Cross-sectional echocardiography was found to be reliable in determining both atrioventricular and ventriculo-arterial connections in the presence of aortic atresia and a solitary ventricle.
