Abstract Background The anomalous origin of one pulmonary artery is a rare malformation, which so far has mainly been found as an anomalous origin from a different site of the aorta, accounting for 0.12% of all congenital heart diseases. This case report introduced a very rare case of the anomalous origin of one pulmonary artery which had never reported in the clinic. Case summary A 2-year-old boy with a 6-month history of shortness of breath and recurrent respiratory infection, was diagnosed left pulmonary artery (LPA) directly arising from the right ventricle by transthoracic echocardiography and multidetector computed tomography without a deletion in the region of 22q11. Eventually, the LPA was further conformed that arised from the right ventricle during the operation, and was corrected with a well clinical outcome. Discussion The surgical technique for repair of this anomalous LPA was not difficult in our case. However, the embryonic development of the present case still could not be completely explained by the current embryologic postulates since it was a new malformation that never reported. Due to its rarity, there is still much to learn about the origin and development of the pulmonary arteries that possibly develop prenatally.

AbstractMalposition of the branch pulmonary arteries is a rare malformation with two forms. In the typical form, pulmonary arteries cross each other as they proceed to their respective lungs. The “lesser form” is characterised by the left pulmonary artery ostium lying directly superior to the ostium of the right pulmonary artery, without crossing of the branch pulmonary arteries. Malposition of the branch pulmonary arteries is often associated with other congenital heart defects and extracardiac anomalies, as well as with 22q11.2 microdeletion. We report three infants with crossed pulmonary arteries and one adolescent with “lesser form” of the malformation. The results suggest that diagnosis of malposition of the branch pulmonary arteries could be challenging if based solely on echocardiography, whereas modern imaging technologies such as contrast computed tomography and magnetic resonance angiography provide reliable establishment of diagnosis. In addition, we performed the first molecular characterisation of the 22q11.2 region among patients with malposition of the branch pulmonary arteries and revealed a 3-megabase deletion in two out of four patients.

AbstractHemitruncus is a rare congenital heart disease. Anomalous origin of the left pulmonary artery is not only rare but also pathogenetically different from anomalous origin of the right pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta. In most cases in isolated hemitrucus pressures in the right ventricle and the normally originating pulmonary artery are systemic or suprasystemic. We present a rare case of anomalous origin of the left pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta diagnosed in an adult with normal pressures in the right ventricle and normally originating pulmonary artery. To the best of our knowledge, this unique haemodynamics has never been reported in the literature.

ABSTRACT CONTEXT: Obstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract due to metastatic disease is rare. Clinical recognition of cardiac metastatic tumors is rare and continues to present a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. CASE REPORT: We present the case of a patient who had severe respiratory insufficiency and whose clinical examinations revealed a giant tumor mass extending from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery. We discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic options. CONCLUSION: In patients presenting with acute right heart failure, right ventricular masses should be kept in mind. Transthoracic echocardiography appears to be the most easily available, noninvasive, cost-effective and useful technique in making the differential diagnosis.

We studied the detailed profiles of blood flow in the right and left pulmonary arteries using 20 MHz pulsed Doppler ultrasound equipment in a lamb model. Fourteen lambs aged four to six weeks were selected. In six lambs, monocrotaline pyrrole was injected parenterally to create pulmonary hypertension (PH group). Eight other lambs served as unaltered controls (control group). The blood flow velocities were sampled in 1mm increments along the anterior—posterior axis of the branch arteries. The maximum velocity of the forward flow in the left pulmonary artery was higher than that in the right pulmonary artery in the control group (71.7 ± 15.9cm/s vs 60.2 ± 13.5; p < 0.05). The fastest backward flow was located at the posterior position of the vessel in the right pulmonary artery in the control group. No significant bias in location was shown in the left pulmonary artery. Using indices of P90, acceleration time, P90*AcT, the velocity waveforms in the PH group were compared with those in the control group. In the left pulmonary artery, every index in the control group showed a significantly greater value that in the PH group. On the other hand, no significant differences were found between either group in the right pulmonary artery.
