Overview
Transitional atrioventricular septal defects (AVSD) represent a spectrum of congenital heart defects characterized by incomplete septation of the atrioventricular (AV) canal, often transitioning between partial and complete forms. These defects involve both atrial and ventricular septa, leading to varying degrees of shunting and potential hemodynamic complications. 71437Diagnosis
