5 CONCLUSIONS
IE location varies between congenital heart diseases due to their
different pathophysiological changes, which should be considered in the
diagnosis. When the mass is found by echocardiography and other typical
signs are not evident, careful identification should be combined with
patient history, clinical manifestations, and biochemical indexes.
