| Popis: | The paper presents two infants with the A-4 type of truncus arteriosus communis (according to Van Praagh's classification). One patient who survived a surgical procedure demonstrated a rare variant of aortic arch interruption to the left off the left subclavian artery (type A according to Celoria and Patton), whereas the second presented an uncommon anomaly in which the right subclavian artery originated from the descending aorta with associated severe truncal valve incompetency. The authors describe the clinical picture along with the surgical treatment of the first infant who being six days old was subjected to a correction employing the wide patent ductus arteriosus to reconstruct the aortic arch, following the method described by Gomes and McGoon. Subsequently an aortic homograft was implanted in order to connect the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. |
