In [b]TRUNCUS ARTERIOSUS[/b], a single artery with a single semilunar valve leaves the base of heart and gives rise to pulmonary, Systemic and Coronary circulation. The single arterial trunk receives blood from both the ventricle so a ventricular septal defect is obligatory. Anomalies associated with TA are Right aortic arch, Truncal valve abnormality coronary artery anomaly atresia of Right or left pulmonary artery, Atresia of ductus arteriosus, single ventricle, TAPVC, subclavian artery and SVC abnormality.
