Abstract

MIRANDA-CHAVEZ, Irma et al. Atrioventricular defect with 2 valves associated with absence of the pericardium: Report of a case. Arch. Cardiol. Méx. [online]. 2013, vol.83, n.3, pp.189-193. ISSN 1665-1731.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.acmx.2013.03.005.

We present a case of a patient with a cardiac malformation that represents a form of embryo-anatomical transition of an atrioventricular septal defect between a 2 valves form to a common valve form. This entity was associated with pericardium absence. Throughout several studies we have precisely established a diagnostic sequence by determining the adequate contribution of each method and we have been able to clear out the proper nomenclature of the atrioventricular cushion defect.

Keywords : Atrioventricular septal defect; Absence of the pericardium; Tomography; Mexico.
