Developmental remodeling and shortening of the cardiac outflow tract involves myocyte programmed cell death

Abstract excerpt

The embryonic outflow tract is a simple tubular structure that connects the single primitive ventricle with the aortic sac and aortic arch arteries. This structure undergoes a complex sequence of morphogenetic processes to become the portion of the heart that aligns the right and left ventricles with the pulmonary artery and aorta.
