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.

Background: The association of double aortic arch and common arterial trunk is extremely rare. The initial surgical approach depends on the patient’s clinical condition and associated cardiac anomalies. Aim: To report a rare association of common arterial trunk with double aortic arch in a 4-month-old female infant. Methods: description of case of a rare association where double aortic arch was not diagnosed initially, surgical repair was done successfully. Results and conclusions: associated cardiovascular anomalies may have an impact on management and outcome. Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography may be useful in assessment of this rare association. Complete repair has favorable outcome.

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.

Coronary artery anomalies are known to be associated with truncus arteriosus (common arterial trunk). Delineation of coronary anatomy preoperatively is important to avoid complications intraoperatively and postoperatively. We report the case of a 12-year-old boy with repaired truncus arteriosus who presented with moderate to severe truncal valve regurgitation and severe conduit stenosis. He was noted to have intramural left main coronary artery on a transesophageal echocardiogram performed preoperatively.

An intramural coronary artery in the setting of truncus arteriosus (common arterial trunk) is an uncommon association. Following an uneventful surgical repair, a neonate developed a low cardiac output state deteriorating into cardiac arrest shortly after arrival into the intensive care unit, requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support. Echocardiography and angiography showed occlusion of the left coronary artery, prompting emergency surgical reexploration. A “slit-like” orifice with an intramural left coronary artery was successfully unroofed, allowing full recovery. Full definition of the proximal coronary anatomy beyond the orifices should be investigated preoperatively in truncus arteriosus, as a missed intramural segment could lead to significant morbidity or mortality.
