      • Overriding aorta is one of the four features that make up the congenital (from birth) heart problem called tetralogy of Fallot. Your aorta is supposed to be above the left side of your heart so it can take oxygen-rich blood to your body. Instead, an overriding aorta is above where a dividing wall between your left and right ventricles should be.

  2. What is an overriding aorta? An overriding aorta is a heart condition you’re born with in which your aorta is in the wrong place. Instead of sitting over your heart’s left side, your aorta is above a ventricular septal defect or damaged wall between the left and right ventricles.

  3. Feb 18, 2023 · Overriding aortas are congenital heart defects in which the aorta is situated directly superior to a ventricular septal defect (VSD) rather than the normal position (i.e. left ventricle). As a result, the amount of oxygenated blood received by the aorta for distribution to the body is reduced.

  4. An overriding aorta is a congenital heart defect where the aorta is positioned directly over a ventricular septal defect (VSD), instead of over the left ventricle. [1] The result is that the aorta receives some blood from the right ventricle, causing mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, and thereby reducing the amount of oxygen ...

  5. Overriding Aorta is a rare congenital heart defect that affects infants. It involves the positioning of the aorta above the ventricular septal defect, rather than originating from the left ventricle as it should.

  6. Overriding aorta is a malalignment defect in which wedging of the aorta between the mitral valve and tricuspid atrioventricular valves fails to occur because the outflow track does not lengthen normally during looping.

  7. Methods and results: In this review, combining developmental, morphologic, and clinical data, we show how aortic overriding is best considered on the basis of biventricular connection of the aortic root in the setting of deficient ventricular septation.

  8. Mar 15, 2022 · It carries oxygen-filled blood from the heart to different organs in the body. The aorta starts at the heart’s left ventricle, arches upwards towards the neck, then curves back downward, extending into the abdomen. Learn more about the important role the aorta plays in the body.
