Truncus arteriosus

Truncus arteriosus (TA) is a rare congenital cardiovascular anomaly characterized by a single arterial trunk arising from the heart by means of a single semilunar valve (<I>i.e.</I> truncal valve). Pulmonary arteries originate from the common arterial trunk distal to the coronary arteries and proximal to the first brachiocephalic branch of the aortic arch. TA typically overrides a large outlet ventricular septal defect (VSD). The intracardiac anatomy usually displays situs solitus and atrioventricular (AV) concordance.

The two affected fetuses of family 1 showed severe craniofacial anomalies with bilateral cleft lip and palate, acral hypoplasia, postaxial oligodactyly, persistent truncus arteriosus, and interrupted aortic arch, asplenia sequence, and complex central nervous system midline malformations.
