Article Abstract
Hemitruncus is an uncommon congenital anomaly that has been described in isolation or in association with other congenital cardiac malformations. This report describes a rare case of left hemitruncus with tetralogy of Fallot and a right-sided aortic arch. The patient presented to us in the early second decade.

Article Synopsis
- A 36-year-old adult was diagnosed with an unusual heart condition where the right pulmonary artery originated from the aorta, along with pulmonary hypertension and moderate mitral regurgitation.
- During a preoperative procedure, an echocardiogram revealed a right pulmonary arteriovenous fistula, indicating abnormal blood flow between the pulmonary artery and left atrium.

Background: We report the occurrence of a severe pulmonary hypertension (PH) in a neonate affected by a left congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). PH in this patient was associated with an abnormal origin of the right pulmonary artery from the right brachiocephalic artery. This malformation, sometimes named hemitruncus arteriosus, has to the best of our knowledge never been reported in association with a CDH.
