AbstractAnomalous origin of one pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta is an uncommon lesion with an uncertain outcome. We reviewed 16 consecutive children (9 males) presenting with this lesion over a 36 year period at a single institution. Median age at presentation was 2 days (range, birth to 3.2 years). The anomalous pulmonary was the right in 12 and the left in 4, all originating from the proximal ascending aorta, with no patient having stenosis at the origin of the anomalous pulmonary artery. Associated cardiac anomalies were noted in 9 patients. No intervention was attempted in 2 patients: one was deemed inoperable due to complex associated lesions and pulmonary vascular obstructive disease, while the other one died before repair. Surgical intervention was attempted in 14 patients, with 3 intraoperative deaths (21%). Of 11 operative survivors, 8 developed pulmonary arterial stenosis graded severe in 2, moderate in 1 and mild in 5. Patients with severe stenosis required surgical angioplasty, 1 after unsuccessful dilation combined with placement of an endovascular stent. One patient with moderate, and one with mild, stenosis underwent successful transcatheter balloon dilation. The remaining 4 patients with mild stenosis remain unchanged during follow-up. One patient had biopsy evidence of pulmonary vascular obstructive disease at 3.3 years of age. There were no late deaths, giving a total mortality of 25% (4/16).ConclusionWhile early diagnosis and repair of anomalous origin of one pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta is necessary, restenosis of the site of repair is common.

Submitral aneurysms are rare clinical entities occurring predominantly in young adults of African descent. A host of etiologies have been proposed for this entity. We present a unique case of submitral aneurysm which developed after pulmonary artery banding in a three-year-old girl with complex congenital heart disease. The aneurysmal sac was burrowing into the interatrial septum.

Background: Surgical pulmonary artery banding (PAB) has been limited in practice because of later requirement for surgical removal or adjustment. The aim of this study is to describe our experience creating a dilatable PAB via transcatheter balloon dilation (TCBD) in congenital heart disease (CHD) patients. Methods: Retrospective chart review of adjustable PAB—outline anatomical variants palliated and patient outcomes. Results: Sixteen patients underwent dilatable PAB—median age 52 days (range 4-215) and weight 3.12 kg (1.65-5.8). Seven (44%) of the patients were premature, 11 (69%) had ventricular septal defect(s) with pulmonary over-circulation, four (25%) atrioventricular septal defects, and four (25%) single ventricle physiology. Subsequent to the index procedure: five patients have undergone intracardiac complete repair, six patients remain well palliated with no additional intervention, and four single ventricles await their next palliation. One patient died from necrotizing enterocolitis (unrelated to PAB) and one patient required a pericardiocentesis postoperatively. Five patients underwent TCBD of the PAB without complication—Two had one TCBD, two had two TCBD, and another had three TCBD. The median change in saturation was 14% (complete range 6-22) and PAB diameter 1.7 mm (complete range 1.1-5.2). Median time from PAB to most recent outpatient follow-up was 868 days (interquartile range 190-1,079). Conclusions: Our institution has standardized a PAB technique that allows for transcatheter incremental increases in pulmonary blood flow over time. This methodology has proven safe and effective enough to supplant other institutional techniques of limiting pulmonary blood flow in most patients—allowing for interval growth or even serving as the definitive palliation.
