Tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries is a rare congenital heart lesion in which pulmonary blood supply may arise from different segments of the aorta. We report an unusual case of a newborn with a major collateral artery originating from the proximal ascending aorta. Successful reparative surgery was undertaken.

Abstract
Tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries is a rare congenital heart lesion in which pulmonary blood supply may arise from different segments of the aorta. We report an unusual case of a newborn with a major collateral artery originating from the proximal ascending aorta. Successful reparative surgery was undertaken.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
