Abstract

© The Author(s), 2024.We report two congenitally malformed hearts found at autopsy to have common arterial trunk and pulmonary atresia. Both exhibited usual atrial arrangement, along with concordant atrioventricular connections. In one case, the common arterial trunk arose predominantly from the right ventricle, while the other had a balanced commitment. In both, the atretic pulmonary trunk arose from the left posterolateral aspect of the common trunk. Confluent right and left pulmonary arteries, which were hypoplastic but patent, were present. On the inner aspect of the common trunk, there was a dimple immediately adjacent to the atretic segment of the pulmonary component identified externally. In one case, the fibrous pulmonary component had been accidentally cut during dissection. A solitary coronary artery was identified in both cases.
