Cardiac catheterization revealed that pulmonary hypertension was due to left ventricular dysfunction. Electron microscopy of the cardiac biopsy demonstrated...

To determine the possibility of surgery, cardiac catheterization was performed to rule out other congenital cardiac malformations incompatible with life, and also to delineate the exact anatomy of the great vessels of the heart. Unfortunately, complex congenital abnormalities were found...
