Truncus arteriosus (common arterial trunk) is known to be associated with interrupted aortic arch in 10% to 15% of cases. However, the association of either of these lesions with a hypoplastic left ventricle is rare. The combination of all three of these lesions along with an intact interventricular septum is virtually unknown with only two cases reported in the literature. We report such a case with its anatomical and surgical management aspects.

AbstractTo assess the prevalence and role of the arterial duct in hearts with incomplete development of the aorticopulmonary septum, 110 autopsy specimens, comprising 100 examples of common arterial trunk and 10 cases with aorticopulmonary window, were studied. In addition to intracardiac malformations, these specimens were analyzed to determine the side of the aortic arch, the presence and location of any interruption of the arch, the presence of any anomaly of origin and course of the subclavian arteries, and the status of the arterial duct. The arterial duct was present in 33 cases, absent in 63 cases and undetermined in four cases with common arterial trunk. The duct provided an essential pathway for flow in the 20 cases with interrupted aortic arch, and in two cases with interruption of the proximal portion of the left pulmonary artery. The presence of the duct in 11 cases, in functional terms, was not essential. In the 10 hearts with aorticopulmonary window, the duct was present in eight. It was an obligatory part of the circulatory pathways in three cases where the aortic arch was interrupted. The prevalence of non-obligatory ducts was 71% in hearts with aorticopulmonary window compared to 15% in hearts with common arterial trunk. The prevalence of the duct in cases with aorticopulmonary window suggests this lesion is a later developmental defect. The functional role of an arterial duct in these hearts should be properly assessed in the clinical situation.

AbstractWe successfully visualized the brachiocephalic arteries and aortic arch in a fetus seen at 19 weeks of gestation with a common arterial trunk and interrupted aortic arch by means of color power Doppler angiography, a new diagnostic development of color Doppler echocardiography. Power Doppler imaging is more sensitive to the state of low flow in fetal vessels, thus providing better visualization of fetal vascular structures from an early gestational stage.

AbstractSurgery for common arterial trunk has evolved over the past 30 years. Current management involves total repair during the neonatal period with excellent expected results. The presence of truncal valve insufficiency or interrupted aortic arch may increase the surgical risk for morbidity and mortality. Current therapy and management continues to evolve.

Truncus arteriosus (TA) or common arterial trunk is a congenital cardiac anomaly having high association with arch anomalies such as right aortic arch or aortic arch interruption. However, TA with double aortic arch (DAA) is a rare occurrence. We report a case of TA with DAA where the diagnosis of DAA was missed initially.

AbstractCommon arterial trunk with arch obstruction is a rare conotruncal abnormality. We report, with confirmatory images, a neonate with this anomaly and additional supracardiac partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection, as well as phenylketonuria.
