Large aortopulmonary collateral artery exclusively supplying the lower lobe of left lung in an infant with common arterial trunk with aortic dominance with confluent pulmonary arteries

Eapen Thomas, Pranav S. Kandachar, Abdullah Al Farqani, Salim Al Maskary, Sunny ZachariasRoyal Hospital.Oman Journal of Cardiac SurgeryJ Card Surg 2022; 37: 433-436DOI: 10.1111/jocs.16121 AbstractIntroduction: Common arterial trunk with aortic dominance has well-developed bilateral pulmonary arterial arborization without any essential major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs), whereas “solitary” arterial trunk is characterized by collateral arterial supply to all […]
