DORV, TAPVR, ps, TGA, single ventricle, single atrium
TAPVR – blood coming back from the lungs goes to the hepatic veins instead of the left atrium; DORV – the pulmonary artery and aorta both rise out of the right ventricle; PS – the pulmonary artery is too narrow, TGA – the positions of the pulmonary artery and the aorta are switched; single ventricle; single aorta
dextrocardia, L-TGA, pa, VSD and DORV
Dextrocardia – the heart is backwards, levo-TGA – the ventricles (and valves leading into the ventricles) are switched, pulmonary atresia – the pulmonary artery is blocked at or near the pulmonary valve, VSD – there’s a hole in the wall between the ventricles, DORV – the pulmonary artery and the aorta both rise out of the right ventricle.
