Anomalous Origin of One Pulmonary Artery Branch From the Aorta: Role of MDCT Angiography

Abstract

AOPA had a prevalence of 0.33% among patients with congenital heart disease in our series. MDCTA was an important supplement for the diagnosis, delineating the different subtypes and origin sites of AOPA and permitting preoperative planning of AOPA in patients suspected on the basis of echocardiography of having AOPA because accurate diagnosis and early surgical treatment remain the mainstays in improving patient outcome.
