Overriding aorta
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
. 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
delivered to the tissues.
