Aberrant left pulmonary artery

Aberrant left pulmonary artery, also known as pulmonary sling, represents an anatomical variant characterized by the left pulmonary artery arising from the right pulmonary artery and passing above the right main bronchus and in between the trachea and esophagus to reach the left lung.

Aberrant left subclavian artery associated with a Kommerell's diverticulum

Kommerell's diverticulum is most commonly associated with either an aberrant left subclavian artery from a right-sided aortic arch or an aberrant right subclavian artery from a left-sided aortic arch. We describe an exceedingly rare case of an aberrant left subclavian artery arising from a Kommerell's diverticulum in a patient with..

Aberrant left subclavian artery

Medical genetics. Aberrant subclavian artery, or aberrant subclavian artery syndrome, is a rare anatomical variant of the origin of the right or left subclavian artery. This abnormality is the most common congenital vascular anomaly of the aortic arch, occurring in approximately 1% of individuals.

Aberrant right subclavian artery

Aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) is a rare anomaly, in which the right subclavian artery arises directly from the aortic arch instead of originating from the brachiocephalic artery. This anomaly should be taken into consideration during surgical procedures around esophagus, such as esophagectomy.

Absent pulmonary valve syndrom

Absent pulmonary valve syndrome (APVS) also known as congenital absence of pulmonary valve or pulmonary valve agenesis is a rare outflow tract anomaly of heart. It is defined as absent or rudimentary pulmonary valve. Variable degree of annular stenosis with dilatation of main pulmonary artery (MPA) is always present. However..

Anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA)

Anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a congenital (present at birth) heart defect in which the left coronary artery arises abnormally from the pulmonary artery. Normally, the left and right coronary arteries arise from the aorta and supply blood with oxygen to the heart.

Anomalous right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ARCAPA)

Anomalous right coronary artery (RCA) from pulmonary artery is a rare congenital coronary anomaly. The prevalence is about 0.002% of general population. Anomaly such as aortopulmonary window, tetralogy of Fallot, and septal defects has been reported in one-third of anomalous RCA originating from the pulmonary artery (ARCAPA) patients. Whereas patients..

Aortic atresia and hypoplastic left ventricle

The spectrum of hypoplastic left heart syndrome spans a continuum from borderline hypoplasia to extreme forms with retrograde blood flow from the ductus arteriosus to the cerebral and coronary arteries. A male neonate, born at 37 weeks’ gestation, had an antenatal diagnosis of hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Postnatal echocardiographic assessment..
