Uncommon Coexistence of Aortopulmonary Window With Interrupted Bovine Aortic Arch and Patent Ductus Arteriosus in An Adult: A Case Report and Review of Literature
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Aortopulmonary window is an opening between the aorta and the pulmonary trunk. Interrupted aortic arch is defined as a loss of luminal continuity between the ascending and descending portions of the aorta. Bovine aortic arch is the most common variant of aortic arch and occurs when the brachiocephalic shares a common origin with the left common carotid artery. The rarity in our case lies in the co-existence of these rare congenital cardiac anomalies with a delayed age of presentation i.e. 27 years which was diagnosed entirely by MDCT and Echocardiography and to the best of our knowledge this co-existence has not been reported so far.
