Types (Exemples)

- septal malformations (atrioventricular septal defects)

  • malformations of the atrial septum
    • atrial septal defect
    • single atrium
    • premature closure of the foramen ovale
  • malformations of the ventricular septum
    • ventricular septal defect (VSD)
  • malformations of the atrioventricular septum
    • partial atrioventricular septal defect
    • complete atrioventricular septal defect (complete AV canal)

- malformations of the conus and truncus (conotruncal malformations)

  • transposition of great vessels
    • complete transposition (D-transposition)
    • corrected transposition (L-transposition)
  • double outlet ventricles
    • double outlet right ventricle
    • double outlet left ventricle
