Truncus arteriosus with patent ductus arteriosus and normal aortic arch ANNALS OF THORACIC SURGERY Mello, D. M., McElhinney, D. B., Parry, A. J., Silverman, N. H., Hanley, F. L. 1997; 64 (6): 1808-1810

Abstract

In hearts with a common arterial trunk (truncus arteriosus), there is almost always an inverse development of the aortic arch and the ductus arteriosus. Truncus with a normal aortic arch and a patent ductus is a rare echocardiographic and surgical finding. In this report, we describe 2 neonates in whom truncus arteriosus with a normal aortic arch and a medium or large patent ductus was diagnosed by preoperative echocardiography (without catheterization) and confirmed intraoperatively.
