Аннотация
BACKGROUND: A 21-year-old male with complex congenital heart disease (pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries [MAPCAs]) was seen in our outpatient clinic. Diagnosed shortly after birth, the patient underwent Rashkind atrial septostomy and was deemed amenable to surgical correction/partial unifocalization or palliative intervention.
CASE SUMMARY: On examination, the patient was cyanotic with no signs of heart failure. Multimodality imaging showed MAPCAs from the aorta to the pulmonary circulation with a variable degree of stenosis suggestive of segmental pulmonary hypertension (PH). The decision of the multidisciplinary meeting was for a conservative approach and close monitoring with the potential of palliative interventions if there is a deterioration in patients' functional status.
DISCUSSION: Segmental PH presents a complex scenario, necessitating multimodality imaging for therapeutic considerations.
TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: In cyanotic congenital heart disease, the presence of MAPCAs and segmental PH presents a complex scenario, necessitating multimodality imaging.
