We report a case of a 27-day-old girl with an unusual association of crossed pulmonary arteries with common arterial trunk showing pulmonary dominance with an interruption of aortic arch between the origin of the left common carotid artery and left subclavian artery. This case highlights the potential airway-related implications of this variant pulmonary arterial anatomy in the setting of the common arterial trunk and the role of computed tomography angiography in providing not only accurate and three-dimensional visualization of complex cardiovascular anatomy, but also a comprehensive evaluation of associated airway abnormalities with great precision.
我们报告了一例 27 天大的女婴,其存在交叉肺动脉与共同动脉干的异常关联,表现为肺动脉优势,并在左颈总动脉和左锁骨下动脉起源之间存在主动脉弓中断。该病例强调了在共同动脉干情况下这种变异的肺动脉解剖结构对气道的潜在影响,以及计算机断层血管造影术在不仅提供复杂心血管解剖结构的准确和三维可视化,而且还能精确全面评估相关气道异常方面的作用。
