Absent sixth aortic arch: a form of pulmonary atresia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pulmonary atresia is characterized by developmental abnormalities of the pulmonary valve or pulmonary arterial tree, with complete obstruction to blood flow by the normal route. We recognize three main types, based on embryology, anatomy, and suitability for surgical treatment. Pulmonary atresia as an element of a more complex lesion such as transposition of the great vessels or tricuspid atresia is classified under the primary abnormality.

Haemodynamic and anatomical characteristics of pulmonary blood supply in pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect - including a case of persistent fifth aortic arch.
Eight children with congenital pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect were investigated. The anatomy ofpulmonary blood supply was established by aortography and multiple selective injections of contrast medium into aortopulmonary anastomoses or pulmonary arteries. All patients were shown to have central pulmonary arteries (derived from the embryological sixth aortic arches). In 4 (gro...
متن کاملAnomalous origin of the left pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta in two children with pulmonary atresia, sub-aortic ventricular septal defect and right-sided major aorto-pulmonary collateral arteries.
We report two rare cases of an anomalous origin of the left pulmonary artery (AOLPA) from the ascending aorta, associated with pulmonary atresia, a ventricular septal defect and a left aortic arch. The cases are unusual because AOLPA is more commonly associated with a right aortic arch and it is more usual for the right pulmonary artery to originate anomalously from the ascending aorta. The pul...
متن کاملRare cardiovascular anomaly: congenital unilateral absence of the pulmonary artery
Congenital unilateral absence of the pulmonary artery (UAPA) is an extremely rare heart defect (approximately 0.39% of all congenital heart diseases). It is frequently accompanied by other heart diseases such as tetralogy of Fallot, septal defects, aortic coarctation, subvalvular aortic stenosis, transposition of the great arteries or pulmonary stenosis. This defect also occurs in an isolated f...
متن کاملAortic atresia with interrupted aortic arch: a combination incompatible with life?
Aortic valve atresia is a common feature of hypoplastic left heart syndrome, which consists of various degrees of underdevelopment of the left ventricle aorta complex; nevertheless it can also be associated with a large ventricular septal defect (VSD) and a rather developed left ventricle. Atresia of the aortic valve prevents antegrade blood flow from the left ventricle to the ascending aorta, ...
