    This study details anatomical variations in persistent truncus arteriosus (PTA), identifying a novel unicommissural truncal valve and common associated cardiovascular anomalies.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Anatomy
    • Congenital Heart Disease
    • Pediatric Cardiology

    Background:

    • Persistent truncus arteriosus (PTA) is a complex congenital heart defect.
    • Understanding its anatomical variations is crucial for surgical planning and patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To anatomically characterize a cohort of persistent truncus arteriosus (PTA) specimens.
    • To document the prevalence of different PTA types, truncal valve morphology, ventricular origin, coronary artery patterns, and associated anomalies.

    Main Methods:

    • Anatomical review of 54 heart specimens with persistent truncus arteriosus (PTA).
    • Classification based on the Collett-Edwards system.
    • Detailed examination of truncal valve, ventricular origin, coronary arteries, and associated cardiovascular anomalies.

    Main Results:

    • 28 Type I and 26 Type II PTA cases identified.
    • A previously unreported unicommissural truncal valve was observed.
    • Dysplastic truncal valve leaflets were common (72%).
    • PTA originated equally from both ventricles (42%) or predominantly from the right ventricle (42%).
    • Variations in coronary artery origins and patterns were frequent.
    • Common associated anomalies included right aortic arch (36%) and interrupted aortic arch (11%).

    Conclusions:

    • Persistent truncus arteriosus (PTA) exhibits significant anatomical variability.
    • The unicommissural truncal valve represents a novel finding.
    • Specific ventricular origins may pose challenges for surgical correction.
    • Associated anomalies like right aortic arch and interrupted aortic arch are frequent and require careful consideration.
