Multiplanar Reformations

The possibility of using multiplanar reformations oriented on the axis of heart in diagnosing the common arterial trunk with X-ray computed tomography is substantiated. Examination data of 140 patients aged 1-19 days of life, 3030-3890 g body weight with conotruncal congenital heart diseases was analyzed, and common arterial trunk was detected in 7 patients (4 - boys, 3 - girls). In 5 (72%) patients, it developed mainly from the morphological right ventricle, 1 (14%) - completely from the morphologically right ventricle, and 1 more (14%) - evenly located above the ventricles. In four (57%) cases, the trunk valve had three leaflets, in two (28,5%) cases - two, in one (14,5%) case - four. All the patients had mitral-semilunar fibrous prolongation, intraventricular septal defects, doubled coronary arteries system, and the pulmonary arteries had their origin from ascendant part of common trunk. Pulmonary arteries had also their own common trunk in 4 (57%) cases, separate estuary in 3 (43%) cases. Aortic arc abnormalities included dextral aortic arc (2 cases), discontinuity of aortic arc (1 case), discontinuity of fourth aortic arc with persistence of fifth left aortic arc (2 cases). In general, computed tomographic angiocardiography heart-axis-oriented multiplanar reformations permit full and correct assessment of heart and main vessels, which is important for surgical treatment planning in congenital heart diseases.

AbstractSo as to understand better the pathogenesis of enlargement or hypoplasia of pulmonary arteries in congenital heart disease, we studied the dimensions of the pulmonary arteries in 74 fetuses with congenital heart disease induced by administration of bis-diamine to pregnant rats. The congenital malformations induced included 12 with large ventricular septal defect, 17 with tetralogy of Fallot, 15 with tetralogy together with severe valvar pulmonary stenosis and absence of the arterial duct, 17 with tetralogy with absent pulmonary valve syndrome and absence of the arterial duct, and 13 with common arterial trunk with a confluent segment supplying the pulmonary arteries. For comparison, 16 fetuses of the same gestational age with normal hearts were studied. After rapid whole-body freezing on the 21st day of gestation, the fetuses were studied by means of serial cross-sectional photographs of the thorax. The diameter of the right pulmonary artery of the fetus was of comparable dimensions in the normal hearts (480±10 µm) (mean±SEM), those with ventricular septal defects (470±10 µm), common arterial trunk (520±20 µm), and tetralogy of Fallot (500±10 µm). These findings suggest that the commonly observed enlargement of the right pulmonary artery in patients with ventricular septal defect and common arterial trunk, and hypoplasia of the right pulmonary artery in tetralogy of Fallot, occur postnatally in response to abnormal postnatal pulmonary blood flow.

Congenital Heart Anomaly

Common arterial trunk (persistent truncus arteriosus) is a rare, congenital heart anomaly and characterized by Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD), single truncal valve, and a common ventricular outflow tract. We reported a case of truncus arteriosus type 1 in the fetus of a 28 years-old G2-P1-L1 pregnant female at 24 weeks of gestational age with large sub truncul VSD, truncal overriding, and main pulmonary artery bifurcation to the right and left pulmonary arteries.

Simple Screening

Pulmonary vascular disease is a risk factor for the surgical management of common arterial trunk. Surgical repair, therefore, is usually performed in early infancy, before irreversible changes can occur in the epulmonary vasculature. Because of this, there has been an increasing tendency to dispense with cardiac catheterisation as a means of assessing pulmonary vascular disease. Cardiac catheterisation, nonetheless, is still performed when there is a risk of pulmonary vascular disease, such as in older children. There are no clear guidelines, however, as to who should be catheterised. We have developed a simple screening test to help make this decision.

AbstractTo assess the prevalence and role of the arterial duct in hearts with incomplete development of the aorticopulmonary septum, 110 autopsy specimens, comprising 100 examples of common arterial trunk and 10 cases with aorticopulmonary window, were studied. In addition to intracardiac malformations, these specimens were analyzed to determine the side of the aortic arch, the presence and location of any interruption of the arch, the presence of any anomaly of origin and course of the subclavian arteries, and the status of the arterial duct. The arterial duct was present in 33 cases, absent in 63 cases and undetermined in four cases with common arterial trunk. The duct provided an essential pathway for flow in the 20 cases with interrupted aortic arch, and in two cases with interruption of the proximal portion of the left pulmonary artery. The presence of the duct in 11 cases, in functional terms, was not essential. In the 10 hearts with aorticopulmonary window, the duct was present in eight. It was an obligatory part of the circulatory pathways in three cases where the aortic arch was interrupted. The prevalence of non-obligatory ducts was 71% in hearts with aorticopulmonary window compared to 15% in hearts with common arterial trunk. The prevalence of the duct in cases with aorticopulmonary window suggests this lesion is a later developmental defect. The functional role of an arterial duct in these hearts should be properly assessed in the clinical situation.
