Anomalous Connection of Umbilical Vessels to the Left Ventricle. Korean J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2020 Dec 09;: Authors: Bae YH, Jang WS, Choi HJ, Shin SY Abstract The anomalous connection of umbilical vessels to the heart is rare and has not yet been reported in the international scientific literature. Herein, we report the case of a newborn who was diagnosed with an anomalous connection of the umbilical vessels to the left ventricle. These anomalous vessels were functionally open for 2 weeks, and cellulitis was present in the area of the blood vessels connected to the skin. We performed division of these abnormal vessels and removal of the skin lesion. PMID: 33293483 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
