Successful diagnosis and surgical treatment of single ventricle, truncus arteriosus

RE Shaddy and EC McGough
Department of Pediatrics, Primary Children's Medical Center, Salt Lake City, Utah.

The association of single ventricle and truncus arteriosus is rare. We present the successful surgical palliation of a patient who echocardiographically and angiographically has a truncus arteriosus type I and single left ventricle. At operation, the main pulmonary artery was dissected off the truncus arteriosus, and a 4-mm polytetrafluoroethylene graft was placed from the ascending aorta to the left pulmonary artery. The patient is currently 13 months old and growing well.
