Department of Surgery, Osaka University Medical School, Japan.

The autopsy findings of a patient who survived 14 years after ventricular septation for single ventricle are reported. Although the patient had been well for years, she suddenly died at 22 years of age. Her ventricular free walls had grown normally, but the ventricular septum did not. A crevice was found in the apex, and the ventricular septum consisted of only the Teflon patch. Microscopically, fibrosis was found only in the right atrium.
