    Atresia of the atrioventricular (AV) orifice was observed in 9 (1.3%) of 694 bovine hearts showing congenital cardiac anomalies. All of the 9 hearts were detected in Japanese Black cattle. The atrial situs of these hearts was situs solitus. Among the 9 cases with the AV orificial atresia, 8 showed the left, while remaining 1 showed the right AV orifices. In 6 of the 8 hearts with the left AV oricicial atresia the right atrium was connected to a morphologically right ventricle and their ventriculoarterial (VA) connections were double outlet right ventricle in 4, concordant connection in 1 and aortic atresia in remaining 1, respectively. In other 2 of 8 the right atrium was connected to a morphologically left ventricle and their VA connection was concordant connection. In a case with the right AV orificial atresia the left atrium was connected to a morphologically left ventricle and its VA connection was concordant connection.

    Atrial septal defect (ASD), displacement of the atrioventricular valves, and mitral regurgitation were revealed by means of echocardiography, and partial endocardial cushion defect was diagnosed. In order to treat this condition, the atrium was opened under hypothermic anesthesia. A cleft in the mitral valve was sutured, and an opening in the atrial septum was closed using an ASD patch and a continuous suture technique. The patient died due to heart failure five hours following surgery. As this disorder progresses very quickly, it is considered necessary to perform the operation as soon as possible following diagnosis and assessment of the patient as suitable for surgery. In surgical technique, it may be considered necessary to prevent obstruction of arterial blood flow due to placement of a catheter in cats.
