AoV, aortic valve; ASD, atrial septal defect; BCPS, bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt; BT, Blalock-Taussig shunt; DA, ductus arteriosus; GA, gestational age (in weeks) at initial study; IDDM, insulin dependent diabetes mellitus; na, not assessed; PAIVS, pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum; PS, pulmonary stenosis; RV, right ventricle; SAS, subaortic stenosis; TTTS, twin to twin transfusion syndrome; VCC, ventriculocoronary connections.
↵1-150 Status is the patient’s postoperative status (at patient’s age). Death in all cases occurred after no active treatment (by parental request).
↵1-151 Probably large, as suggested by the presence of a dilated tortuous coronary artery found during necropsy. All other ventriculocoronary connections confirmations were by postnatal right ventriculography.
