Left Ventricular Outflow Anomalies

This chapter deals with the congenital anomalies affecting the systemic outflow from the left ventricle. The congenital anomalies of left ventricular outflow discussed in this chapter include left ventricular outflow tract obstruction at various levels (including aortic stenosis, coarctation of the aorta, and interrupted aortic arch). Truncus arteriosus, although not an isolated anomaly of the LVOT, is also discussed in this chapter.
