A

70%

20
Q

What percentage of sinus of Valsalva aneurysms occur in the non-conorary cusp?

A

25%

21
Q

Define Type I Truncus Arteriosus.

A

In Type I Truncus Arteriosus, an aortopulmonary septum is recognized (present) and a single main pulmonary artery is identified to originate from the posterior wall of the truncus arteriosus.

22
Q

Define Type II Truncus Arteriosus.

A

In Type II Truncus Arteriosus, there is no aortopulmonary septum and separate right and left pulmonary arteries are identified to originate from the posterior wall of the truncus arteriosus.

23
Q

What percentage of sinus of Valsalva aneurysms occur in the left coronary cusp?

A

5%

24
Q

What is the most common congenital anomaly recognized at birth?

A

Ventricular septal defect (VSD)

25
Q

Describe Ebstein’s Anomaly

A

Two of the three leaflets of the tricuspid valve, septal and posterior leaflets, are displaced downward in the right ventricle. The anterior leaflet is large, redundant, and abnormally attached to the right ventricular free wall.

26
Q

What is the most commonly encountered congenital heart defect?

A

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV)

27
Q

A bicuspid aortic valve is found in what percentage of general population?

A

2% to 3%

28
Q

Define Type IV Truncus Arteriosus

A

In Type IV Truncus Arteriosus (very rare), the pulmonary arteries arise from the descending aorta (pseudotruncus). Probably a severe form of Tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia and large bronchial collaterals.

29
Q

What is the male:female ratio of sinus of Valsalva aneurysms?

A

4:1

30
Q

What is thought to be the cause of a congenital aneurysm of the sinuses of Valsalva?

A

A weakness in the aortic media at the junction of the annulus fibrosis.

31
Q

What consitutes the ‘Pentalogy of Fallot’?

A

The ‘Pentalogy of Fallot’ includes

  1. Ventricular septal defect
  2. Over-riding aorta
  3. Pulmonic valve stenosis
  4. Right ventricular hypertrophy
  5. Atrial septal defect (10% to 15%)
32
Q

Define D-Transposition of the Great Arteries?

A
  1. Atrioventricular concordance

Q

Define L-Transposition of the Great Arteries?

A

Also known as congenitally corrected Transposition of the Great Arteries (ccTGA)

What is the echocardiographic criteria for Ebstein’s Anomaly?

A

In the mid-esophageal four-chamber (ME 4C) view, the tricuspid valve is inserted greater than 20 mm (2.0 cm) to the mitral valve annulus.

36
Q

What percentage of ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are muscular?

A

20%

37
Q

What percentage of ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are supracristal?

A

5%

38
Q

The mitral valve is always associated with which morphologic ventricle?

A

The left ventricle

39
Q

What percentage of patients with Tetralogy of Fallot have an anomalous origin of the left anterior descending coronary artery?

A

10%

40
Q

What percentage of ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are atrioventricular canal defects?

A

5%

41
Q

What percentage of atrial septal defects are ostium secundum defects?

A

70%

42
Q

What is the Gasul phenomenon?

A

When right ventricular outflow tract hypertrophy occurs in association with a ventricular septal defect. The RV outflow tract hypertrophy serves to limit the severity of pulmonary hypertension.

43
Q

What peak gradient defines mild pulmonic stenosis?

A

< 30 mm Hg

44
Q

What peak gradients define moderate pulmonic stenosis?

A

30 mm Hg to 50 mm Hg

45
Q

The tricuspid valve is always associated with which morphologic ventricle?

A

The right ventricle

46
