Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Anomalous origin of the right pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta, also called hemi-truncus arteriosus, is a rare congenital cardiovascular malformation. Around 95% of the reported cases with hemi-truncus arteriosus present in infancy. We describe a case of a 41-year-old female presenting with a long-standing history of intermittent haemoptysis. Cardiac catheterisation confirmed the diagnosis of hemi-truncus arteriosus. The definitive treatment of hemi-truncus arteriosus in adulthood is an extremely high-risk procedure. We decided to perform palliative right pulmonary artery banding which represents a simple but effective procedure for the management of this complex condition. |
