[The anatomy of rare minor cardiac anomalies].
Cardiac malformations as minor anomalies have anatomic features that influence intracardiac hemodynamics, and contribute to thrombogenesis in the cardiac chambers, sclerosis of the endocardial portions adjacent to an anomaly, and to the development of infective endocarditis. However, their life-time recognition involves difficulties due to the fact that physicians are unaware of the structure, topography, and impact of the malformations on pathogenesis and thanatogenesis. Studying the anatomy of rare cardiac minor anomalies occurring in 7.79% of cases promotes their better life-time diagnosis and the prevention of pathogenetically related complications.
