Pulmonary atresia (PA), ventricular septal defect (VSD), with major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs) is an extreme variant of tetralogy of Fallot characterized by a lack of luminal continuity between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery tree, with pulmonary blood flow sourced through isolated MAPCAs, or a combination of MAPCAs and a unilateral ductus arteriosus, including absent development of central hilar pulmonary arteries. Anomalies in pulmonary artery architecture and arborization are common. This heterogeneity underlies the nuances in peri- and intraoperative decision-making.

摘要

Pulmonary atresia (PA), ventricular septal defect (VSD), with major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs) is an extreme variant of tetralogy of Fallot characterized by a lack of luminal continuity between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery tree, with pulmonary blood flow sourced through isolated MAPCAs, or a combination of MAPCAs and a unilateral ductus arteriosus, including absent development of central hilar pulmonary arteries. Anomalies in pulmonary artery architecture and arborization are common. This heterogeneity underlies the nuances in peri- and intraoperative decision-making.
