A right pulmonary artery to left atrial communication is a very rare vascular congenital anomaly. Patients most commonly present in the neonatal period with congestive cardiac failure or at a later stage with central cyanosis and its complications. Various diagnostic modalities are available but angiography is the most important decision-making tool for the management of this lesion. We present an unusual case of right pulmonary artery to left atrial communication in a 14-year-old patient, who underwent successful surgical repair through a bicameral approach.
右肺动脉至左心房交通是一种非常罕见的先天性血管异常。患者最常见于新生儿期出现充血性心力衰竭，或在后期出现中央性发绀及其并发症。有多种诊断方法可用，但血管造影是管理该病变的最重要决策工具。我们报告一例14岁患者右肺动脉至左心房交通的罕见病例，该患者通过双腔入路成功接受了手术修复。
