Atypical sites of twin atrioventricular nodes in a rare form of univentricular heart

Abstract

Twin atrioventricular nodes (AVNs) associated with complex tachycardias has been described in a heart with discordant atrioventricular (AV) connection. The present case had twin AVNs (approximately 3 o'clock and 8 o'clock position) of sole AV annulus with absent right AV connection. It is a first report demonstrated the twin AVNs identified at atypical sites associated with a univentricular heart with single inlet connection.

Keywords: absent atrioventricular connection; atrioventricular discordance; twin atrioventricular nodes.
