title: Common arterial trunk associated with atrioventricular septal defect.
abstract: Described are the clinical, cross-sectional echocardiographic, electrocardiographic and angiographic findings, together with the results at autopsy, in a 5-month old infant with a common arterial trunk associated with an atrioventricular septal defect. As far as is known, this is only the 13th such case to be reported in the literature. A particularly unusual feature of this case was an intact atrial component of the atrioventricular septal defect.
