Origin of a pulmonary artery from the aorta is a rare congenital defect which usually is fatal if not surgically corrected in infancy. Medical treatment often is unsatisfactory because of progressive heart failure. Described is a 19-year follow-up of a patient who underwent surgery at age three weeks to correct a right pulmonary artery from the aorta.
肺动脉起源于主动脉是一种罕见的先天性缺陷，如果在婴儿期不进行手术矫正，通常会致命。由于进行性心力衰竭，药物治疗往往不尽人意。本文描述了一名患者的19年随访情况，该患者在三周龄时接受了手术，以矫正起源于主动脉的右肺动脉。
