  • Title: Acyanotic Truncus Arteriosus: Not a Misnomer But a True Rarity.
    Author: Chellappan S, Manohar K, Sathe Y, Pandey R, Joshi R, Deshpande A.
    Journal: World J Pediatr Congenit Heart Surg; 2022 Jan; 13(1):104-106. PubMed ID: 33956545.
    Abstract:
    Truncus arteriosus, also referred to as common arterial trunk (CAT), is generally classified as a cyanotic congenital heart disease characterized by a single arterial trunk arising from the heart and supplying both pulmonary and systemic circulations. Cyanosis exists by virtue of it being an admixture lesion. We report a 13-year-old boy diagnosed to have type 1 CAT who was acyanotic at presentation and had all features of an operable lesion even at this age. He underwent a successful repair with closure of the subtruncal VSD and insertion of a hand-sewn valved right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery conduit made of bovine pericardium and Gore-Tex membrane.
