Unilateral absence of pulmonary artery with absent pulmonary valve in tetralogy of Fallot

  The incidence of absent pulmonary valve (APV) in tetralogy of Fallot is 2.4 to 6.3%. About 1–3% of the patients with tetralogy of Fallot will have unilateral absence of pulmonary artery (UAPA). However, coexistence of APV with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and UAPA is extremely rare. This rare subset...

Zusammenfassung:  The incidence of absent pulmonary valve (APV) in tetralogy of Fallot is 2.4 to 6.3%. About 1–3% of the patients with tetralogy of Fallot will have unilateral absence of pulmonary artery (UAPA). However, coexistence of APV with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and UAPA is extremely rare. This rare subset can present in two forms. In one group, the main pulmonary artery continues as either left or right pulmonary artery (UAPA) and there is true absence of contralateral pulmonary artery. The second group is termed as unilateral anomalous origin of pulmonary artery (UAOPA), in which the contralateral lung is supplied either by patent ductus arteriosus or a collateral from the aorta. There are a limited number of these cases in the literature. We present a rare case of TOF with APV and UAPA managed using a different surgical technique. Also, we have done contemporary literature review.
