Rare Variant of Truncus Arteriosus with Intact Ventricular Septum and Hypoplastic Left Heart - A Case Report
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Persistent Truncus Arteriosus is a relatively uncommon heart malformation involving the ventriculoarterial connection in which a single outlet is present. The malformation is variable in its components. In this report we describe an unusual variant in which the common trunk arose exclusively from the right ventricle, the ventricular septum was intact and left heart was hypoplastic.
