AB Acyanotic  cardiac  lesions  represent  a  significant  portion  of  all  congenital  heart  disease.  Although  acyanotic  shunt  lesions  are  discussed  in  Chapter  7,  this  chapter  focuses  on  acyanotic  valve  and  ventricular  outflow  tract  lesions  as  well  as  common  vascular  abnormalities.  The  chapter  begins  with  a  discussion  of  the  semilunar  valves  (aortic  valve  and  pulmonary  valve)  and  their  associated  ventricular  outflow  tracts.  Next,  lesions  of  the  atrioventricular  valves  (mitral  valve  and  tricuspid  valve)  are  addressed.  Finally,  the  chapter  concludes  with  a  discussion  of  aortic  arch  anomalies  and  peripheral  pulmonary  stenosis.  Each  section  begins  with  a  description  of  the  normal  cardiac  structures  prior  to  describing  the  lesions  that  affect  them.  Tables  8-1  and  8-2  summarize  the  salient  points  from  each  section.  Endocarditis  prophylaxis  for  various  lesions  is  discussed  in  Chapters  14  and  16.
