Pulmonary Atresia With Ventriculocoronary Arterial Connections and a Large Conoventricular Septal Defect

Abstract

Ventriculocoronary arterial connections are typically found in patients with pulmonary atresia with an intact ventricular septum. This report describes a case of ventriculocoronary arterial connections in a patient with pulmonary atresia with a ventricular septal defect. Our case supports recent data suggesting a primary coronary artery developmental anomaly in pulmonary atresia. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
