Overview

Endocardial cushion defects are often called atrioventricular canal or septal defects. This is not a single defect but a variety of defects that involve the atrial septum, one or both of the atrioventricular valves, or the ventricular septum.

Classification

There are two broad classes of defect:

1. Partial defects: There is atrial septal involvement, but there are separate mitral and tricuspid valve orifices.
2. Complete defects: There is the presence of both atrial and ventricular septal defects and there is a common AV valve.
