The atrioventricular valves are attached to the inside wall of the ventricle, on small muscles called “papillary muscles”, by fibrous structures called as “chordae tendinae”.

Although the probability of discharge alive has improved over the past 2 decades due to advances in overall patient care, transplant‐free survival in patients with single ventricles undergoing ...

The right coronary artery lies within the atrioventricular groove along nearly the entire anterior and posterior annulus, with the separation narrowing to less than 3 mm inferiorly, placing the ...
