The prognosis of infants with truncusarteriosus associated with severe truncal valve insufficiency is quite poor.
2
Conclusion: Despite the magnitude of the operation, excellent results can be achieved in complex forms of truncusarteriosus.
3
Objective: Truncal valve regurgitation and interrupted aortic arch have frequently been identified as risk factors in the repair of truncusarteriosus.
4
Congenital heart diseases such as single ventricle, truncusarteriosus, transposition of the great arteries and tetralogy of Fallot are also associated with aortic medial abnormalities.
5
The first human mutations in GATA6 were described in a cohort of patients with persistent truncusarteriosus, and the phenotypic spectrum has expanded since then.
6
Results: Model-estimated risk of major complications ranged from 1.0% for simple procedures to 38.2% for truncusarteriosus with interrupted aortic arch repair.
