Anomalous Origin of the Right Pulmonary Artery from the Abdominal Aorta With Aberrant Right Subclavian Artery and Left Patent Ductus Arteriosus

Abstract

Anomalous origin of the pulmonary artery (AOPA) from the aorta is a rare congenital heart malformation. This report describes a case of AOPA from the abdominal aorta in association with an aberrant right subclavian artery and a patent ductus arteriosus, which never has been reported previously in the literature.

Surgical Correction of Anomalous Origin of One Pulmonary Artery Without Grafts in Infants

“…However, complications involving these grafts include anastomotic stenosis and age‐dependent replacement of the conduits during the follow‐up period. To avoid these complications, surgeons have used conduits with the largest possible diameter or vessel flaps to perform the anastomosis without grafts . This study aims to review our clinical experiences of AOPA correction without artificial or homologous conduits and to report the midterm results.…”
