AI Article Synopsis
- A rare variant of the common arterial trunk was surgically repaired successfully, featuring an atypical arrangement of pulmonary arteries.
- The variant could not be classified via existing classification systems and is distinguished by aortic dominance and extrapericardial origins of the pulmonary arteries.
- The authors discuss the cardiac development behind this unique anatomical structure, providing insights into how it formed.
Article Abstract
We present a successful surgical repair of a rare variant of the common arterial trunk with unusual arrangement of the pulmonary arteries. The variant was not readily classified using either of the popular classifications for the common arterial trunk. It is appropriately described as a common arterial trunk showing aortic dominance, but with extrapericardial origin of the pulmonary arteries from the underside of the truncal arch. We also provide an account of cardiac development, which we suggest offers an accurate explanation for its morphogenesis.
