    This study examined truncus arteriosus specimens, finding that one-third had semilunar valve stenosis. Angiography and echocardiography better predicted stenosis than pressure gradients.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Pathology
    • Congenital Heart Disease Research
    • Medical Imaging in Cardiology

    Background:

    • Truncus arteriosus is a rare congenital heart defect.
    • Semilunar valve stenosis can be a complication.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence of semilunar valve stenosis in truncus arteriosus.
    • To evaluate diagnostic methods for this stenosis.
    • To identify associated morphological features.

    Main Methods:

    • Examination of 23 morphological specimens of truncus arteriosus.
    • Morphometric analysis of valve orifice, ring, and truncus diameter.
    • Correlation with pressure gradients, angiography, and cross-sectional echocardiography.

    Main Results:

    • One-third of specimens showed significant semilunar valve stenosis.
    • Correlation between measurements and pressure gradients was poor.
    • Angiography and echocardiography were superior predictors of stenosis.
    • Stenosis was linked to cusp dysplasia and bicuspid/quadricuspid valves.

    Conclusions:

    • Semilunar valve stenosis is a notable feature in truncus arteriosus.
    • Imaging modalities like angiography and echocardiography are valuable for diagnosis.
    • Cusp morphology plays a role in the development of stenosis.
