Abstract
Double-inlet left ventricle (DILV) is a rare congenital cardiac abnormality that is a subtype of univentricular congenital disease. This defect has been reported in people and large animals, but has not been previously described in a small animal. Here we report a 1-year-old cat diagnosed with DILV accompanied by a hypoplastic right ventricle and ventricular septal defect. Complete
echocardiography, fluoroscopy with angiography, and computed tomography with angiography were used to document and characterize this rare case presentation. Findings in this patient showed similarities to previously documented cases of DILV in a calf and foal and were most consistent with Type I Holmes classification of DILV in people.
