title: Bovine aortic arch in association with double inlet left ventricle and pulmonary atresia: a novel association.
abstract: We report a newborn male who was diagnosed with a double inlet left ventricle with pulmonary atresia antenatally. Postnatally, it was difficult to determine his arch anatomy echocardiographically. Therefore, he underwent three-dimensional computed tomography angiography, which confirmed the echocardiographic findings and demonstrated a bovine aortic arch. He additionally had a single coronary artery. To our knowledge, the association of a single ventricle with a single outlet of bovine morphology is novel.
