Lacour-Gayet and his colleagues [1] are to be congratulated on their excellent account of this lesion co-existing with non-committed ventricular septal defect. Dr Lacour-Gayet has kindly acknowledged Becker and myself for the reproduction of Fig. 1. He acknowledges Freedom and Yoo, however, for permission to publish Fig. 2. Unless I am very much mistaken, this picture shows specimen 153 from Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. The original photograph, taken together with Dr James R. Zuberbuhler, is in my files. I realize that, when Freedom and Yoo reproduced the illustration in Ref. 16 as cited by Lacour-Gayet et al., they neglected to state the original source of the photograph. Dr Freedom now agrees with us, however, that we should establish the correct attribution of this figure.
