This is the first documented case of truncus arteriosus communis with intact ventricular septum in which extensive clinical, haemodynamic, angiographic, and pathological data are available. Angiography suggested the presence of two discrete semilunar valves but necropsy showed a basically single semilunar valve. This case fills a gap in the spectrum of aorticopulmonary, truncal, and infundibular septal defects, and reinforces the belief that the essence of truncus arteriosus communis is a single semilunar valve, common to both ventricles, which need not be associated with the defects in the adjacent parts of the structural continuum.
这是第一例记录在案的室间隔完整的共同动脉干病例,有丰富的临床、血流动力学、血管造影和病理学资料。血管造影显示存在两个独立的半月瓣,但尸检显示基本为单一的半月瓣。该病例填补了主肺动脉、动脉干和漏斗间隔缺损谱系中的一个空白,并强化了这样一种观点,即共同动脉干的本质是一个单一的半月瓣,为两个心室所共有,且不一定与结构连续体相邻部分的缺损相关。
