Cardiol Young. 2017 May;27(4):801-803. doi: 10.1017/S1047951116002031. Epub 2016 Nov 10.

Abstract

Truncus arteriosus and tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia may be difficult to differentiate prenatally. We present a case that, on newborn echocardiography, angiography, and intraoperative inspection, shared features of both diagnoses.

Keywords: Truncus arteriosus; aortic root aneurysm; pulmonary atresia.
