Scope note: Malformación cardiovascular congénita en la que la AORTA se origina enteramente en el VENTRÍCULO DERECHO y la ARTERIA PULMONAR en el VENTRÍCULO IZQUIERDO. En consecuencia, las circulaciones pulmonar y sistémica son paralelas y no secuenciales, de modo que el retorno venoso de la circulación periférica es redirigido por el ventrículo derecho, a través de la aorta, a la circulación sistémica sin ser oxigenada en los pulmones. Se trata de una forma potencialmente letal de cardiopatía en recién nacidos y lactantes.

Scope note: A congenital cardiovascular malformation in which the AORTA arises entirely from the RIGHT VENTRICLE, and the PULMONARY ARTERY arises from the LEFT VENTRICLE. Consequently, the pulmonary and the systemic circulations are parallel and not sequential, so that the venous return from the peripheral circulation is re-circulated by the right ventricle via aorta to the systemic circulation without being oxygenated in the lungs. This is a potentially lethal form of heart disease in newborns and infants.
