This case report describes the pathological findings of multiple congenital cardiac defects in a 2-year-old female Shetland pony with clinical signs of chronic respiratory distress. Persistent truncus arteriosus (PTA) type IV, interventricular septal defect, overriding aorta, pulmonary trunk agenesis, pulmonary arteries arising from the descending aorta, and compensatory right ventricular hypertrophy were observed.

ABSTRACT Persistent truncus arteriosus is a rare congenital heart disease with four variants, and the last being the rarest. The prognosis without surgical intervention is poor. In such cases, an echocardiography is not sufficient hence computed tomography (CT) imaging is required. We report a 26-year-old female with difficulty in breathing since childhood with cyanosis. Her echocardiography showed a ventricular septal defect (VSD) and the CT showed a single arterial trunk overriding the interventricular septum with a VSD, and the descending aorta giving rise to the pulmonary arteries suggestive of pseudo truncus, known as truncus arteriosus type IV.

Ct Finding

Truncus arteriosus (TA) is an uncommon congenital cardiac anomaly of which type IV is considered a rare variant. Recognition is crucial for proper treatment planning. The prognosis without treatment is poor. Echocardiography alone may not be useful in evaluation. Computed tomography (CT) finding is complicated. We report an 18 months child with ventricular septal defect (VSD), diagnosed on echocardiography, and further review by CT showed VSD with descending thoracic aorta giving rise to the pulmonary arteries suggestive of pseudo truncus (Collet and Edwards Truncus arteriosus Type IV) and right sided aortic arch with mirror image branching.

Cardiovascular Anomalies

A 5-week-old male mixed terrier with persistent truncus arteriosus had a grade IV cardiac murmur. Cardiovascular anomalies noted at necropsy included ventricular septal defect in addition to complete persistent truncus arteriosus. The latter originated from the right ventricle and served as an aorta, also providing aortic branches that included a modified bronchial artery. This malformation closely resembled type IV persistent truncus arteriosus in humans, however, anatomically it should be classified as type I because of a patent small hypoplastic pulmonary artery.

A patient was born with truncus arteriosus type 2, left aortic arch, anomalous origin of arch vessels, left coronary artery from the right common carotid artery, and multiple extracardiac anomalies. Surgery involving translocation of the left coronary artery to the truncal root, division of branch pulmonary arteries from the truncal artery, and right ventricle-to-branch pulmonary arteries conduit placement was performed at the age of four months. Closure of the ventricular septal defect using a one-way fenestrated patch and conduit upsizing was performed successfully when the patient reached four years of age.

Severe Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Persistent truncus arteriosus is a rare congenital cardiac malformation. It is characterized by a single great artery arising from the heart which supplies the aorta, the origin of coronary arteries and pulmonary arteries. Without surgery, prognosis is poor and 90% of these patients die before one year of age. We report a rare case of an asymptomatic 35-year-old woman with uncorrected persistent truncus arteriosus and hypoplastic right and left pulmonary arteries. Hypoplastic branch pulmonary arteries prevented the development of severe pulmonary arterial hypertension.

AbstractA heart is described in which there was a solitary arterial trunk that exited from the heart astride a large perimembranous ventricular septal defect, with the pulmonary arterial supply originating entirely from collaterals from the descending aorta. There was no evidence of either hilar pulmonary arteries or an atretic pulmonary trunk. The morphology of the ventricular outlet component, with absence of the outlet septum supports the description of this heart as solitary arterial trunk, rather than tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia.
