Abstract:
Univentricular heart malformations are rarely described in the veterinary literature. This case report describes a single-inlet univentricular heart with persistent truncus arteriosus as a cause of death of a captive-bred, 2-day-old, female Sumatran orangutan (Pongo abelii), a critically endangered species.
