Anomalous origin of a branch pulmonary artery from the aorta is a rare malformation, accounting for 0.12% of all congenital heart defects. We present the case of a 43-year-old man with an anomalous origin of the right pulmonary artery (AORPA) from the ascending aorta. Reimplantation of the right pulmonary artery was carried out successfully, with favourable evolution in the medium-term follow-up. It is the first described case that receives corrective treatment in adulthood with a favourable evolution.
一支肺动脉异常起源于主动脉是一种罕见的畸形,占所有先天性心脏缺陷的0.12%。我们报告一例43岁男性,其右肺动脉异常起源于升主动脉(AORPA)。成功实施了右肺动脉再植术,中期随访结果良好。这是首例在成年期接受矫正治疗且预后良好的病例。
