A2 - Gershon, Anne A. Y1 - 2011 N1 - T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 22e AB - Single ventricle or univentricular heart refers to a limited number of congenital heart lesions from a strict anatomic perspective. Anatomically, single ventricle lesions can be either a single left ventricle, due to agenesis of the right ventricular inlet (there is often a small component of the right ventricular outlet present), or a single right ventricle, secondary to agenesis of the left ventricle.1,2 In both, the atria drain through one or two atrioventricular valves into the only ventricular chamber (Fig. 498-1). These lesions are rare, and do not include common lesions such as tricuspid atresia and hypoplastic left-heart syndrome.
