Summary:Abbreviations, Acronyms & Symbols Ao = Aorta AO PA = Anomalous origin of pulmonary arteries from the ascending aorta AP = Anteroposterior BCT = Brachiocephalic trunk BTT = Blalock-Taussig-Thomas CN = Case number CPAP = Continuous positive airway pressure CT = Computed tomography IVC = Inferior vena cava LPA = Left pulmonary artery LV = Left ventricle PA = Main pulmonary artery PDA = Patent ductus arteriosus PT = Pulmonary trunk RA = Right atrium RPA = Right pulmonary artery RV = Right ventricle SVC = Superior vena cava INTRODUCTION The anomalous origin of pulmonary arteries from the ascending aorta (AOPA) is a rare congenital heart disease (hemitruncus arteriosus), usually involving the right branch (right pulmonary artery [RPA])1,2. A transthoracic echocardiogram revealed concordant connections, a patent 3-mm ductus (patent ductus arteriosus [PDA]), and RPA connected to the ascending aorta (Figure 1B, arrow), which was confirmed by computed tomography (CT) angiography (Figure 1C, arrow).
