A neonate diagnosed with aortic atresia and mitral hypoplasia had a ventriculocoronary artery communication demonstrated by use of echocardiography. These communications have been noted by angiography and on pathologic specimens in the past, but their clinical importance in the surgical management of these patients remains unclear. The ability to noninvasively identify these communications and study their flow characteristics would help to define their impact on surgical outcome.
一名被诊断为主动脉闭锁和二尖瓣发育不全的新生儿，经超声心动图检查显示存在心室冠状动脉交通。过去通过血管造影和病理标本已发现这些交通，但它们在这些患者手术治疗中的临床重要性仍不清楚。能够无创识别这些交通并研究其血流特征将有助于确定它们对手术结果的影响。
