TABLE 2.

Cyanotic lesions

  1. Eisenmenger’s physiology
    • Isolated, nonrestrictive communications without obstruction across the pulmonary outflow tract:
      • ○ VSD
      • ○ ASD
      • ○ Patent ductus arteriosus
      • ○ Aortopulmonary window
    • Complex lesions without obstruction across the pulmonary outflow tract:
      • ○ Complete atrioventricular canal
      • ○ Complete TGA with nonrestrictive VSD
      • ○ Truncus arteriosus
      • ○ Univentricular heart
      • ○ Tricuspid atresia with TGA and nonrestrictive VSD
      • ○ Ebstein’s anomaly with an ASD
  2. Congenital heart defects without Eisenmenger’s physiology
    • Congenital heart defects with obstruction across the pulmonary outflow tract (subvalvular, valvular and supravalvular)
      • ○ VSD with pulmonary stenosis
      • ○ Tetralogy of Fallot
      • ○ Discordant atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial connections (congenitally corrected TGA) with VSD and pulmonary stenosis
      • ○ Tricuspid atresia with ASD, VSD and restrictive VSD/pulmonary stenosis
      • ○ Complete atrioventricular septal defect with pulmonary stenosis
      • ○ Others
    • Congenital heart defect without obstruction across the pulmonary outflow tract:
      • ○ Ebstein’s anomaly with a secundum ASD

ASD Atrial septal defect; TGA Transposition of the great arteries; VSD Ventricular septal defect
