  • Title: Truncus arteriosus with patent ductus arteriosus and normal aortic arch.
    Author: Mello DM, McElhinney DB, Parry AJ, Silverman NH, Hanley FL.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1997 Dec; 64(6):1808-10. PubMed ID: 9436579.
    Abstract:
    In hearts with a common arterial trunk (truncus arteriosus), there is almost always an inverse development of the aortic arch and the ductus arteriosus. Truncus with a normal aortic arch and a patent ductus is a rare echocardiographic and surgical finding. In this report, we describe 2 neonates in whom truncus arteriosus with a normal aortic arch and a medium or large patent ductus was diagnosed by preoperative echocardiography (without catheterization) and confirmed intraoperatively.
