World J Pediatr Congenit Heart Surg. 2020 Jul;11(4):NP110-NP112. doi: 10.1177/2150135117743226. Epub 2018 Jan 15.

Abstract

The presence of bilaterally persistent arterial ducts is an uncommon abnormality. Here, we describe the anatomy and successful management of an unusual patient with bilateral ducts in the setting of double inlet left ventricle, discordant ventriculoarterial connections, aortic atresia, and a severely hypoplastic and serpentine aortic arch.

Keywords: CHD; Norwood procedure; aortic arch; cardiac anatomy/pathologic anatomy; univentricular heart.
