Echocardiographic Diagnosis of Bilateral Ductus With Discontinuous Branch Pulmonary Arteries and Heterotaxia Syndrome

Authors: Connie Kwan-Wong, Larry Kramer, Monesha Gupta-Malhotra

Published in: Pediatric Cardiology | Issue 6/2010

Excerpt

Congenital discontinuous central branch pulmonary arteries, a conotruncal cardiac anomaly, can be an isolated finding [1] or can be associated with other congenital heart defects [2, 3]. The anomaly can occur with or without pulmonary valve atresia and with a single or dual patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). The single PDA in most cases supplies the left pulmonary artery [4], whereas the right pulmonary artery normally is connected to the main pulmonary artery. The bilateral PDA or ductlike collateral vessels connect directly to the central branch pulmonary arteries, unlike major aortopulmonary collateral arteries, which connect indirectly. …
