Abstract

The crisscross heart is a rare congenital heart abnormality often associated with other cardiac anomalies. Echocardiography is the first-line diagnostic tool, whereas magnetic resonance imaging and catheterization are used for complementary assessments. In the absence of significant pulmonary valve stenosis or hypoplasia in the tricuspid valve or the right ventricle, total repair or, otherwise, the Fontan procedure is recommended.
