The Embryology of Congenital Heart Defects

We report a case of a four and a half yearrs old boy of Ellis Van Creveld syndrome with hexadactylyty of both hands suffering from pericardial patch dehescence and left atrioventricular valve regurgitation.

After 2 months of the primary surgery, the patch dehiscence was noted along with left atrioventricular valve regurgitation on 2D echocardiography.

The cleft of the left atrioventricular valve was repaired with interrupted sutures.
