We describe a rare case of persistent truncus arteriosus combined with a double aortic arch in a neonate. This congenital heart defect presents unique diagnostic and management challenges.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Pediatric Cardiology
  • Congenital Heart Disease

Background:

  • Persistent truncus arteriosus (PTA) is a rare congenital heart defect where a single vessel arises from the ventricles, supplying both pulmonary and systemic circulation.
  • Double aortic arch (DAA) is a rare aortic arch anomaly where two parallel aortic arches are present, potentially causing airway or esophageal compression.

Observation:

  • A 34-day-old neonate presented with symptoms suggestive of complex congenital heart disease.
  • Echocardiography and cardiac catheterization revealed the coexistence of persistent truncus arteriosus and a double aortic arch.

Findings:

  • The study documents a rare co-occurrence of PTA and DAA in a single neonate.
  • Detailed anatomical and hemodynamic data were collected to characterize this complex malformation.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of recognizing rare congenital heart defect associations.
  • Understanding this specific combination is crucial for accurate diagnosis, surgical planning, and improving patient outcomes.
  • Further research into the embryological basis of such combined anomalies may be warranted.
