“…TTE can usually provide all of the diagnostic information that is necessary for surgical and clinical decision-making. The crucial findings are a single arterial trunk overriding the ventricular septum and a large-outlet VSD [83]. These features are seen clearly in the parasternal long-axis view (Fig.…”

“…These features are seen clearly in the parasternal long-axis view (Fig. 3) [82,83]. The goals of preoperative TTE include, in particular, description of the VSD and any additional VSDs, morphological and functional evaluation of the TrV, assessment of the PAs (Fig.…”

“…The goals of preoperative TTE include, in particular, description of the VSD and any additional VSDs, morphological and functional evaluation of the TrV, assessment of the PAs (Fig. 4) and aortic arch (to exclude an IAA) and assessment of ventricular size and function [83]. In addition, coronary artery anatomy and any pulmonary and systemic venous anomalies should be reported.…”

“…Also, in the newborn period, detailed echocardiography that evaluates all of the anatomical components and usual and unusual cardiac anomalies that are associated with CAT remain the primary, and in most cases the only, mode of pre-operative and intra-operative evaluation of this malformation [44]. Recent studies have assessed the pulse oximetry as a form of screening for serious forms of congenital heart disease in the neonatal period.…”

Anomalous Fusion of Right Pulmonary Artery to Aortic Arch: Case Report of a Rare and Fatal Congenital Malformation in a Newborn and a Literature Review

Patient: Female, newbornFinal Diagnosis: Anomalous fusion of right pulmonary artery-to-aortic archSymptoms: Respiratory failureMedication: —Clinical Procedure: —Specialty: CardiologyObjective:Congenital defects/diseasesBackground:We present a report of a rare cardiac malformation case as well as a review of the literature. In addition, the diagnostic features are discussed.Case Report:The case of a female newborn who died on her third day of life was studied at the Institute of Legal Medicine, University of Chieti-Pescara (Italy). The investigations around her death revealed a cardiac congenital malformation, seen as a rare variant of a common arterial trunk, in which the aorta was fused with the right branch of the pulmonary artery. The ascending aorta showed hypoplasia, while the coronary arteries were free of any pathological findings. The atrial septum showed a closed foramen ovale and the ventricular septum did not show any defect. Only an isolated right ventricular hypertrophy and dilation with no other cardiac abnormalities was found. The cause of death was acute respiratory failure on the third day of extrauterine life when the ductus Botalli closed. The karyotype analysis performed in this case was normal, and the fluorescent in situ hybridization analysis did not show the 22q11.2 microdeletion suggestive of the DiGeorge syndrome.Conclusions:These findings underline the value of 3-dimensional/4-dimensional ultrasound imaging when added to a fetal cardiology screening program, and the need for improvements in postnatal screening routines by using pulse oximetry in order to discover isolated vascular defects before circulatory collapse occurs, as well as to reduce the medico-legal disputes in cases of missed diagnosis. We found the relevant literature search lacked a description of this congenital malformation, which supports our deeper perinatal investigation.
