- The study focuses on major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs), rare congenital anomalies commonly seen alongside heart conditions like tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and pulmonary atresia (PA).
- A retrospective analysis of 46 cases was conducted using advanced imaging techniques, revealing a strong link between MAPCAs and congenital heart diseases, along with distinctive echocardiographic and radiologic traits.
- The findings highlight the need for early detection and treatment of MAPCAs to improve patient outcomes and suggest the necessity for ongoing research into these complex conditions.
