Implication

Distinct venous associations by isomerism type support refined morphological classification; leaves open translation to clinical decision-making in heterotaxy.

Structured PICO

P
Population
51 necropsy specimens from patients with visceral heterotaxy
O
Outcome
Concordance of atrial morphology and venous connections with bronchial morphology, and association with splenic status and venous anomalies

Atrial situs can be defined independently of other visceral situs abnormalities, with right and left isomerism showing distinct associations with specific venous anomalies.
