A 8 month-old female was diagnosed with ventricular septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus associated with absent right pulmonary artery and scimitar syndrome. Cardiac catheterization revealed severe pulmonary hypertension as follows; 72 mmHg of mean pulmonary artery pressure, 0.56 Qp/Qs and 1.73 Pp/Ps. Temporary closure of the ductus reduced the mean pulmonary artery pressure from 72 to 40 mmHg. PDA was ligated and VSD was closed successfully. However, 4 months after initial operation she was readmitted due to infection of the hypoplastic right lung. Removal of the hypoplastic right lung was performed and postoperative course was uneventful.

D004374 Ductus Arteriosus, Patent A congenital heart defect characterized by the persistent opening of fetal DUCTUS ARTERIOSUS that connects the PULMONARY ARTERY to the descending aorta (AORTA, DESCENDING) allowing unoxygenated blood to bypass the lung and flow to the PLACENTA. Normally, the ductus is closed shortly after birth. Patent Ductus Arteriosus Familial,Patency of the Ductus Arteriosus,Patent Ductus Arteriosus

D006345 Heart Septal Defects, Ventricular Developmental abnormalities in any portion of the VENTRICULAR SEPTUM resulting in abnormal communications between the two lower chambers of the heart. Classification of ventricular septal defects is based on location of the communication, such as perimembranous, inlet, outlet (infundibular), central muscular, marginal muscular, or apical muscular defect.

D012587 Scimitar Syndrome An anomalous pulmonary venous return in which the right PULMONARY VEIN is not connected to the LEFT ATRIUM but to the INFERIOR VENA CAVA. Scimitar syndrome is named for the crescent- or Turkish sword-like shadow in the chest radiography and is often associated with hypoplasia of the right lung and right pulmonary artery, and dextroposition of the heart.
