    Aortic levoposition, a rare congenital heart defect, presents unique anatomical challenges. This study highlights associated anomalies and surgical considerations for improved patient outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Congenital Heart Disease
    • Pediatric Cardiology

    Background:

    • Aortic levoposition, where the aorta is anterior and left of the pulmonary artery without ventricular inversion, is a rare congenital anomaly.
    • These cases deviate from the typical 'loop rule' of cardiac development, occurring in approximately 0.9% of reviewed cases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the anatomical features of aortic levoposition without ventricular inversion.
    • To investigate the spectrum of associated cardiac anomalies and their potential syndromic implications.
    • To evaluate the surgical relevance and outcomes for this specific condition.

    Main Methods:

    • Multi-center case series analysis.
    • Review of own cases and existing literature.

  • Detailed anatomical and correlative anomaly assessment.

    • Main Results:

    • A high incidence of associated anomalies was observed, including malrotations, atrial appendage juxtaposition, atrioventricular valve defects, ventricular septal defects, and pulmonary outflow tract obstructions.
    • Absence of the coronary sinus was noted in some cases, independent of asplenia or specific vena cava drainage.
    • The coronary artery pattern in anatomically corrected malposition with two ventricles resembled that seen in ventricular inversion.

    Conclusions:

    • Aortic levoposition without ventricular inversion may represent a distinct syndrome with significant diagnostic and surgical importance.
    • Associated anomalies suggest a complex developmental etiology.
    • Accurate preoperative evaluation and surgical intervention can improve outcomes for affected individuals.
