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.
