Abstract

Major aortopulmonary collateral arteries in the setting of pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum are very rarely encountered, having been documented in only a handful of case reports. We present the right ventriculogram of a patient found to have this rare combination of findings along with right ventricular-dependent coronary artery circulation and unusual supply of the right pulmonary artery.
