Left-sided juxtaposition of the atrial appendages – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1461640469

A congenital cardiac malformation in which the right atrial appendage extends from the right atrium, behind the great arteries, to lie adjacent to the left atrial appendage. Additional information: this is frequently associated with horizontal orientation of the atrial septum, hypoplasia or atresia of the tricuspid valve, hypoplasia of the right ventricle, transposition of the great arteries or double outlet right ventricle, and subpulmonary or subaortic stenosis.
