Summary

The second of the two chapters on congenital heart disease deals with the less common conditions. Conditions covered include double-inlet ventricle, double-outlet ventricle, atrial isomerism and Ebstein's anomaly. The conditions are well illustrated. A section follows on the pathological features of pulmonary arterial hypertension in congenital heart disease. A large section is devoted to common surgical operations for congenital heart disease that may be encountered by the pathologist, and a section is devoted to the pathological assessment of the operated heart with congenital heart disease.
