Double Outlet Right Ventricle with Anomalous Left Pulmonary Artery

Abstract

We describe a rare case of anomalous origin of the left pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta with concomitant double-outlet right ventricle in a 2-year-old boy. He underwent successful 2-stage surgical treatment with transluminal balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty, followed by complete repair. A follow-up examination at 4 years after the operation showed good results.

Left Pulmonary Artery from the Ascending Aorta: A Case Report and Review of Published Cases

“…When "pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect" is considered as a separate entity, a further 6 (5.3%) of the 113 cases exhibited this finding, although these were likely also examples of tetralogy of Fallot [17,[66][67][68]. Double outlet right ventricle was noted in 3 (cases 2.7%) [69][70][71]. An isolated ventricular septal defect was reported in 12 (10.6%) cases [23,58,[72][73][74][75][76][77][78].…”
