Illustration of truncus arteriosus in a fully formed heart Failure of the truncus arteriosus to close results in the condition known as persistent truncus arteriosus, a rare congenital heart defect. (wikipedia.org)
Persistent truncus arteriosus (PTA), which is often referred to simply as TA, is a rare congenital heart disease. (siemens-healthineers.com)
Persistent truncus arteriosus occurs when, during fetal development, the primitive truncus does not divide into the pulmonary artery and aorta, resulting in a single, large, arterial trunk that overlies a large, malalignment type ventricular septal defect. (msdmanuals.com)
Other terms for the condition are (persistent) truncus arteriosus. (cdc.gov)
Ventricular septal4
Type IV truncus arteriosus, originally proposed by Collett and Edwards as a form of the lesion with neither pulmonary arterial branch arising from the common trunk, is now recognized to be a form of pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect rather than truncus arteriosus. (medscape.com)
CT images revealed a common arterial trunk, overriding a high ventricular septal defect (VSD), shared by the ascending aorta (AA) and the main pulmonary artery (MPA), compatible with truncus arteriosus (TA) Collett & Edwards type I or Van Praagh type A1. (siemens-healthineers.com)

Common truncus can be diagnosed prenatally by fetal echocardiography, although in some cases it might be difficult to conclusively distinguish from other conditions (e.g. pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect or aortic atresia with ventricular septal defect). (cdc.gov)
Ductus18
In patients with a patent and normal caliber aortic arch, the ductus arteriosus is either absent or diminutive. (medscape.com)
Because the common trunk originates from both the left and right ventricles, and pulmonary arteries arise directly from the common trunk, a ductus arteriosus is not required to support the fetal circulation. (medscape.com)
Accordingly, an inverse relationship between the caliber of the ductus arteriosus (derived from the sixth branchial arch) and that of the distal portion of the aortic arch (derived from the fourth branchial arch) is typically present. (medscape.com)
The systemic or pulmonary circulation may depend on the patency of the ductus arteriosus, especially in patients presenting in the first few days of life. (medscape.com)
Before birth, the baby has a blood vessel that runs between the aorta (the main artery to the body) and the pulmonary artery (the main artery to the lungs), called the ductus arteriosus. (limamemorial.org)
In some cases, a baby may grow out of some of the simpler heart problems, such as patent ductus arteriosus or an atrial septal defect. (adventhealth.com)
Originally described in association with a large VSD, Eisenmenger syndrome can also manifest with a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) or, less frequently, with other congenital cardiac anomalies, such as atrioventricular septal defects (AVSDs) and atrial septal defects (ASDs). (medscape.com)

Arterial trunk4
Truncus arteriosus (TA) is an uncommon congenital cardiovascular anomaly that is characterized by a single arterial trunk arising from the normally formed ventricles by means of a single semilunar valve (ie, truncal valve). (medscape.com)
Truncus arteriosus type II is characterized by separate but proximate origins of the left and right pulmonary arterial branches from the posterolateral aspect of the common arterial trunk. (medscape.com)
In truncus arteriosus type III, the branch pulmonary arteries originate independently from the common arterial trunk or aortic arch, most often from the left and right lateral aspects of the trunk. (medscape.com)
Common truncus or common arterial trunk is a structural heart defect characterized anatomically by having a single common arterial trunk, rather than a separate aorta and main pulmonary artery (see Fig. 4.15 ). (cdc.gov)

Truncus arteriosus is a rare type of heart disease in which a single blood vessel (truncus arteriosus) comes out of the right and left ventricles, instead of the normal 2 vessels (pulmonary artery and aorta). (medlineplus.gov)

If you or your child has truncus arteriosus, one big blood artery exits the heart. (africainfoline.com)
A baby with truncus arteriosus has only one great blood vessel or trunk exiting the heart, which then divides into blood arteries that go to the lungs and the body, instead of providing a separate pulmonary artery and aorta, each with its own three-leafed valves. (africainfoline.com)
