Abstract
The use of the term "endocardial cushion defects" is proposed to describe the group of cardiac malformations that have in common defective development of the dorsal and ventral atrio-ventricular (A-V) endocardial cushions. They can be divided into three grades: Grade I - persistent ostium premium; Grade II - intermediate forms; and Grade III - persistent common A-V canal. Two illustrative cases are described and recent reports and their bearing on clinical diagnosis are discussed.Keywords
