“…A PDA is not usually present in type A1 or type 2, but will be present with type A3 and type A4. Coronary anatomy and truncal valve anatomy have been described and are not included in the classification system because they are variable and not specific to any given pulmonary artery pattern [2,3,5,6,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Efforts to more accurately describe the cardiac anatomy are ongoing in regard to PTA [17,19,20].…”

Survival of patients with persistent truncus arteriosus, otherwise known as truncus arteriosus communis, has increased over the past several years with advances in congenital heart surgery and postoperative management. Despite the fact that ongoing debate regarding timing for surgical intervention, timing and indication for truncal valve replacement, and the ideal materials to use for the right ventricle to pulmonary artery conduit, perseverance on the part of cardiac surgeons, cardiologists, and the rest of the medical team caring for these patients has resulted in longer and improved quality of life. Early, accurate diagnosis, initial stabilization, and medical management in the perinatal period, and surgical intervention are most important in preventing or decreasing long-term morbidity and mortality.

“…In this report, we describe an infant with a single (truncal) artery arising entirely from the right ventricle, with accompanying mitral valve atresia and severe left ventricular hypoplasia. This particular constellation of anatomic anomalies in the context of TA is extremely rare, with only a few cases having been reported in the literature (1–3, 5–7).…”

Sudden Infant Death Due to Truncus Arteriosus Communis Persistens with Mitral Valve Atresia and Left Ventricular Hypoplasia

Truncus arteriosus is a rare congenital heart defect characterized by a single common arterial trunk giving rise to both the pulmonary and systemic arteries. Concurrent cardiac abnormalities are common. In the absence of surgical intervention, the condition is associated with extremely high infant mortality, with the mechanism of death being either arrhythmia or congestive heart failure. We report the case of a previously healthy and reportedly normal two-week-old infant who was found dead in his crib. At autopsy he was found to have truncus arteriosus communis persistens, a rare subtype of truncus arteriosus with associated valve atresia and left ventricular hypoplasia. This case highlights that forensic pathologists may encounter severe cardiac malformations in previously normal infants, and the necessity for thorough evaluation and accurate diagnoses.
