Abstract
Internal diameters of the cardiac orifices and of the great vessels were determined in 9 hearts with an atresia of the left atrio-ventricular orifice and/or the aortic ostium and in 7 hearts with an atresia of the right atrio-ventricular orifice and/or pulmonary ostium. Hearts which showed a ventricular septal defect in combination with a patent aortic ostium and left hypoplasia or a pulmonary ostium and right hypoplasia were not included in the material. Twenty-four normal hearts served as a control group. The aorta was measured at 6 sites; the pulmonary trunk, the two pulmonary arteries and the ductus arteriosus were all measured at one site. The age range of the material was from birth to 16 months after birth.
